Paris has changed, thought I. Then this afternoon I was only round the corner where the Kronenbourg is €8+ a demi. How?! Why!? Who?!<br /><br />Reuben, I've another Paris brewpub review to do. It'll be rather less cheery.<br /><br />Al, I guess that's microbreweries and consistency for you. Or my awful taste in beer.

We mainly stop by for the food, which is generally quite good.<br /><br />Admittedly our last visit was in 2008, but the Natural Blonde was, to quote the good lady wife, "rank beyond words", so much so she jokingly asked me if we could go for a Branik when we got home to Prague! My review of the place is here:<br /><br />http://www.fuggled.net/2009/01/dashed-hopes.html<br /><br />We also went to the Frog and Rosbif in Bordeaux, and it was much better than the one we experienced in Paris, actually Bordeaux should be on everyone's tour plans, a lovely town it is.Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-74044635878200955462010-08-06T12:06:28.017+01:002010-08-06T12:06:28.017+01:00I have been to Paris a few times and never visited...I have been to Paris a few times and never visited a brew pub.
