Prompts and stars

I am back, after a wonderful month in Europe. Mind you, the weather there, in June, was pretty much the same as in Sydney, where its supposed to be Winter. But, we would not have enjoyed walking in anything hotter, and public transport in Europe is not geared for really hot days.
But back to the title. Belgium, as some may know, is still the home to over 400 different locally brewed beer brands, and long may that last. While in the supermarket, I picked two cans off the shelf, to drink at the apartment. So I poured my beer, and sipped the nectar. On the way back to the kitchen, to get the rest of the 50ml can, I noticed I was not unaffected by that glass, and had a close look at what I was drinking. called Platinum 12:12. That was cute, but the 12% alcohol got my attention. WOW. That's three beers in one. No wonder I was seeing stars.
love,
Geoff.

Nice to see you back Geoff.....
You are lucky, when i went to Belgium, years ago, i couldn't find a beer over 1% alcohol...
... i hope they sell 12:12 in the UK.....
Lots of love

Welcome back Geoff,
Ah, a good beer is truly nectar from the gods.
Reminds me of my Army days when I was stationed in Germany...
Hmmmm...I think I will push for my company to open
an Office in Belgium.
Love and Peace,
Nick

..........Very poor joke, I know!!!

That's very funny Geoff =)
Sweden is in Europe but we have had a bit of both sun and rain here..
Just crossed my mind and thought I'd ask. Did the Platinum 12:12.
appear on the can after you drank it or was it already there and you just didn't read how high % it was?
Peace,
Mahsa

Dear Mahsa,
I only read the can, and saw the 12:12 and the alcohol content after finishing the first glass.
love,
Geoff.

Welcome back Geoff,,,
sounds like 'good beer' to me too....
after living in Germany for 4 years I couldn't drink the beer here when we came back....European beer is sooooo 'good'....
even warming it up in the winter as they do wasn't too bad...
hope you had a wonderful vacation...
