From 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.

Ooh cool. I'm surprised someone else hadn't before me really.

(FWIW, I thought the news was the important bit. I hope someone *does* bail them out, but I don't expect to find someone on my friendslist to solve it. If we wanted to do something we could form a consortium...)

They're perfectly drinkable, but I stopped drinking them some time ago - they contain artificial sweeteners, which Beer Should Not Contain.

Oh dear. I suspect Molekin will mourn. :-(
