| Have not. I don't know where to get them. The beer situation in Northern Germany is very different to what you'd probably imagine. Wheat beer isn't that popular or available here. |

Anyone ever have this?
Very, very ordinary for a $4+ import. I'm surprised the SAQ is selling it for so much, considering that they have much better and less commonly-available beers at a lower price. Beer is a typical English bitter ale, nothing more nothing less. I'm probably having it too cold though. |

True. I can see why some might look upon countries like Germany and Belgium and think that all beers are plentiful and widely-available. Such is not always the case. I think when you take a country like that, where the tradition of brewing beer is so rich and engrained, you tend to see many of the beers often confined to a small geographical region. People probably like their beers, the ones that are made locally, and don't really bother with stuff that comes from the other side of the country.
That's why in Germany, you probably get certain beers in Munich, Dortmund, Essen, Berlin, Frankfurt...etc. People are proud of their local brews, and aren't as disposed to trying something from another region as a foreigner would.
I remember a few years ago, I was working with a Belgian dude and he told me about Delirium Tremens. To my delight I happened to find it here a few weeks later and then told him about my experience with it. We had a laugh because while all it took for me to get it was a 5-minute walk to the local SAQ, he said that back home he'd have to drive for two hours in order to be able to buy it. |

So do you guys drink Hoegaardens with a lemon or orange? Cause a guy at work insists that it's supposed to be served with orange, but I never once had it served like that. Lemon is the only way to go.
Has anyone else heard of this ludicrous method of drinking Hoegaardens with slice of orange? |

They serve it here with an orange most of the time. I prefer it with out anything.

| I find unfiltered beers to be the perfect patio drink. Blanche Du Chamblay is another favourite of mine. |

Hoegaarden Blanc is great, but I prefer the herbaciousness of Mothership Wit.
A slice of orange is necessary. I've never had it with lemon; that's very uncommon in the states, but I will try it. |
