Did you try any of that La Gatine stuff Donald was sucking on?

I did, having drawn his attention to it - it was the poster in the bar
that caught my eye, the blurb commencing with "Des Champs", which I saw
as apposite. He enquired of the wonderful Nicolas (BarGarcon
Extraudinaire) and on finding it was i) a local brew; ii) possess of a
decent abv (7.2%) and iii) cheap, latched on to it like a babe finding a
better breast.

I'll confess to finding it not immediately to my taste, being a bit
wheaty, but as often happens, inhibitions melted away in the face of
several more of the same. It was quite nice, really - and certainly
effective ;-)
