Where can I buy Belgium 'Palm' in the UK?

BeerRitz in York has it:

Palm Product Type: Belgian Ale Bottle Price: £1.40 Case Price: £33.60 Size: 33cl ABV: 5.2% Mid-coppery in colour, with a noticeably malty nose and palate. A classic Belgian ale

Yeah, I found it for the same price.. but really... when you can buy Stella for 40p/bottle.. 1.40 seems rather a rip off...

It was available on draft in the WELLINGTON INN Russell St. HULL last time I was up there.

Do you want to drink lager or do you want to drink gnats piss?

Bonehead!

LOL! Tell it like it is Steve :)

Great, but was it at least £19.87 a pint? Otherwise the tediously predictable Pikthalls will think it undrinkably cheap.

I think Belgium is closer to me ;)

There's a difference?

Yes if you're drinking some Belgian lagers, and I was including Palm in that. Anything brewed here, or mass produced in industrial units just outside Leuven, is gnats piss.

You can't possibly compare the two. I haven't had Palm, but I've had other Rodenbach (?) beers, and Stella would seem very gassy and characterless after drinking a good Rodenbach lager. And you can't expect Palm to compete on price with Stella.

But if you're not bothered about flavour and price is your only criterion, then you can get cheaper tinned lager than that from Kwik Save or Aldi. Or try White Lightning cider in 2 litre plastic bottles. The local alkies, who despite being utterly feckless in most other areas of their lives, are expert at working out the best ABV/price ratio, all drink that.

Unfortunately a lot of people who should know better do exactly that.

Not "anything". There are some good lagers brewed here.

Palm isn't a lager. It's an ale.

HTH. HAND.

Palm owns Rodenbach. Absolutely *not* ye olde gnatpee.
