Any stores that sell Heverlee in cans or bottles??

Anyone seen it for sale anywhere??

I don't think C&C distributes the packaged version down here. You'd have to go up north. It is surprisingly good.

runningbuddy

thanks beernut ... it is a good one alright.. worth travelling up north if I have to !!!

You can buy Spaten in Aldi for next to nothing down here. I think they're very similar.

I like the Spaten too but nowhere near Heverlee :mad:

Doctors differ and patients die.

Had a pint of this in the Bernard Shaw a couple of years ago, it was rotten.

Maybe they've changed the recipe but I'm not inclined to find out.

I thought it was more like a Stella Artois without some of the rough edges?

Seems to be everywhere in Derry, suppose we would get more C&C stuff up here though.

They tend to use the Clonmel brewery to supply lager to the south, with 5 Lamps and Clonmel 1650 as the flagships.

Had a few in Belfast before realising that Chieftain is almost as common on tap there as Harp now; its probably the most drinkable thing C&C offer to my tastes

Unless you know something the rest of us don't, Chieftain is from MolsonCoors, not C&C.

That was extremely badly phrased but your selective quoting has made it even worse.

I'm fully aware Chiefain is MolsonCoors - I was saying Heverlee was the most drinkable C&C offering

Gotcha. And it definitely is. Not sure why Chieftain is relevant here, though.

Purely that, at least at that time, Molson had basically managed to get it *everywhere*. In a nightclub with three taps - Guinness, Harp and Chieftain; hotel had very few taps and had two Chieftain etc etc. Which is of very little relevance admittedly; but its why I stopped drinking Heverlee on that trip.
