If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).
My email is ralphgant@sky.com.

Abbaye de Vauclair

All of these beers are from De Gayant, I have not covered them before, well not together so I thought it was about time. One of them was new to me as well and it just reminded me that these French beers are so good. I will leave the new one till last, a Wheat Beer I got from Lidl on our last trip in the van.

De Gayant, Abbaye de Vauclair Blonde from France

De Gayant, Abbaye de Vauclair Triple from France

5.0% red colour with a good head, fruity aroma, slightly bitter summer fruit taste, I am not the best person to review this type of beer as I do not like them.
