Drinking and driving

I’ve promised “beer” in this blog’s description, but blog very little about it.
Yesterday, we went to France to buy some more beer. (If you’re reading outside Europe, you might not appreciate the wild difference in tax on beer between EU member states).
So - here’s a nice photo of some Kronenbourg. If you get told your train home is 4 hours delayed, what else is there to do than to drink? We enjoyed three cans of Kronenbourg Pur Malt before driving onto the train.
(If you’ve not yet guessed, it’s a zero-alcohol beer. It has over 70% of the French market. Costs the same as a coke. And it almost tastes like a proper beer, if not quite the same clean taste. Quite pleasant.)
I liked this photo, if only because it captures our slight unease at sitting in a car, drinking what looked like proper beer!
