Kopparberg's Strawberry & Lime Cider - The true nectar of the the gods

I was invited to a friends 30th birthday party in West London and at the they had only a few kinds of ciders, one of which was this gorgeous drink.

They served it over ice and the second the first few drops hit my lips I was already converted to its deliciousness and knew that it had instantly earned a place in my weekly grocery list.

It was quite strawberry without being at all sickly sweet and served chilled it was a real thirst quencher.

Belgian Fruli Strawberry Beer

My friend David invited me up to his local for a long overdue chat and a drink.

I have never been much of a heavy drinker, not even in my younger days, but he had been subtly raving about their Strawberry Beer called Fruli that apparently I just had to try.

The bar itself was great as it had a real open place fire and comfy sofas to sit on, but it was the long awaited Fruli beer that realy stole the evening for me.

Fruli was very strawberryish, yet still tasted like a beer and not just a fruit drink and by the end of my second I was 'happily merry' and freed of my inhibitions and coordination that only alcohol can bestow upon a person.

As I staggered back towards the tube station the fog in my brain and the smile on my face left me in no doubts that Fruli was going to be a drink that I was going to enjoy drinking a lot more of in the future.
