Darcy is drinking an Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Grand Cru (2017) by Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes (BFM) at Untappd at Home
Rich but balanced morello cherry 🍒, balsamic, with hints of cola, cold brew coffee & toasted/sherried cereal grains. Scary easy to drink.

Darcy is drinking a Blanc 2020 by Château Brown at Untappd at Home
I’m beer’d out on bad euro lagers to earn World Cup badges. This - pear compote, white grapefruit, soft vanilla/toast crust hints. A bit smoky/flinty on the finish (like Chablis) with toasty pear replays. Very nice. Really shows as it warms up outside.

Darcy is drinking a Karlovačko by Karlovačka Pivovara (Heineken Croatia) at Untappd at Home
Defect-free flavourless beverage that’d be my go-to if the local water had legionella bacteria or cholera. I’m doing this purely for the soccer ⚽️ badge - can I get a shoutout in empathy, Terry & Emma ? 😝

Darcy is drinking a Rekorderlig Wild Berries (Skogsbär) by Åbro Bryggeri at Untappd at Home
More mixed frozen berry flavour than apple cider, it’s alright over ice and a dash of soda water to cut the beetus. One & done & for the badge.

Sweet sultana raisin, caramel and biscuit flavours. More sweet than body. Am not a fan generally of the La Trappe line. Mbappé wasn’t impressed, either. Last bottle and thanks to the late Craig for this. Spain 2, France 0 at the 58:00 mark. Wow.
