One pint of beer? That'll be $15, please

IT'S blue-collar Grange Hermitage: Almost as expensive, it comes in a large chilled glass with a frothy head.

It's also known as beer.

And if you think you're getting less change at the end of every round -- you're right.

The price of a brew is breaking records in Perth.

At the Belgian Beer Cafe a large, fully imported Hoegaarden, Leffe Blonde or Leffe Brune will set you back $15.30 a pint.

And that doesn't include a $5 deposit on the glass.

Roast Peaches with Hoegaarden Ice Cream

The recipe called for Hoegaarden beer, but at the moment I'm in country NSW, and all the ingredients I require weren't quite available. Instead of using Hoegaarden, I used Haagen. Haagen is an Australian beer which is brewed in traditional German style. It made for a very beer-y ice cream, and I assume that is the whole point of the ice cream flavour. I'm sure that Hoegaarden can be substituted for any type of beer...pick your favourite and off you go. After tasting it, I immediately thought of Beez Neez, the honey flavour in the beer would make the ice cream take on a slight beer/honey flavour.
