jackFrom timeplease and Charlie Stross,
"Finally, can some rich, beer-drinking Belgian entrepreneur please buy Liefmans Breweries, which were unfortunately declared bankrupt last Friday? It's a cash flow glitch, due to bugs in a new bottling line and scheduled duty payments; the brewery should be long-term viable as a business."
I can't vouch for the details, but I assume they're correct. Since the Carlton introduced their fruit beers they've become some of my favourites. What I don't know is the Liefmans Kreik and Framboisen are particularly good, or if there are other equally good fruit beers that are just as good, I just don't happen to have tried them. I think I have one bottle at home someone gave me, if it can't recover, I'll have to have a little wake.
