Yesterday I bought 5 cases of cans at Tesco Calais. They also have bottles.

I have been enthusiastically drinking Shofferhofer, Erdinger in the interim. I trust we can all agree that the foul Kronenberg Blanc is UNACCEPTABLE as a substitute.

Hurrah, Hurrah, a small shipment of small kegs has appeared at the local and, for the moment, all is back to normal. Sorry folks, but until a guaranteed supply is available, I will have to keep this location a secret - anyone else had the bier blanche back on?

It came back on in the bar beside my office where this took place, and I enthusiastically ordered a pint, but when my companion joined me we were told that I had just had the last of the barrel as not enough had been ordered.

Keep hunting, Hoegaarden fans!

Aaaah, this explains why this two very ardent Hoegaarden drinkers have been suffering withdrawals in London. We have had to (tragically, move on from our local in Aldgate to savour Erdinger not so far away in Farringdon - any end in site to this problem???????????

I assume this is connected to the anticipated closure of the Hoegaarden brewery and the transfer of production to the InBev brewerey in Jupille. Apparently, this is dragging on and on because the Jupille brewers keep nixing the test batches of Hoegaarden beer.

If you’ve never been to the Hoegaarden brewery, do go while you still can. It feels more like a heritage site now than a working brewery, but soon it won’t even be that. Sigh.

OMG AUGUST!!! Luckily there’s plenty of much tastier Belgian beer available if one knows where to look.

I can confirm this. As part of our beer changeover deal, we asked to put Hoegarden on. I got a call from the beer distributors last week saying that we won’t be getting it until August due to a chronic shortage.
