Wise move. A mere €60 in shops here. Also, it doesn't taste nice.
ReplyDeleteThat socalled Tactic Penguin beer is more or less a gimmick, the way I see it. I prefer using my money on the local seasonal beers. And right now it is Christmas beer season.
ReplyDeleteNøgne Ø's Christmas beers cost about 7 GBP or 8 EUR, by the way. Some of them will be making their way into my fridge this weekend.
