Purchased my first two bottles of this beer today. This is the 8%
bottle-conditioned lager (sister to Cobra) which starts its life in Poland and gets trucked to Rodenbach in Belgium, where it's re-fermented and bottled in typical Belgian-style corked champagne bottles, presumably by Palm. It cost me £3.99 a bottle. Much to my annoyance, Selfridges were billing it as exclusive to them, so it looks like it will be a takeaway curry I'll be drinking it with (or a home-made one). -- Regards Mike |

The proprietor said that he couldn't sell it at less than £6 or £7 (can't remember precisely). We will still be drinking the standard Cobra with our restaurant meals or, if cooked at home, a guttsie Ausie Shiraz, Lebanese (sorry can't remember the details) or IPA. -- ..ElaineJ.

Hey, we have a King Cobra here in the USA, too! http://www.40ozmaltliquor.com/kingcobra.html > This is the 8% > bottle-conditioned lager (sister to Cobra) which starts its life in > Poland and gets trucked to Rodenbach in Belgium, where it's > re-fermented and bottled in typical Belgian-style corked champagne > bottles, presumably by Palm. Hmmm... sounds like it's a different recipe, tho'. <g> Hey, with all that transportation, maybe the brewer(s) should look for a good law firm along the route. The parent company in the US is kinda lawsuit happy when it comes to beers with the same name. (Just ask the brewers Dubuisson which makes Bush beer (aka Scaldis in the US). And then there's another one...some place in the Czech Republic...) |
