 It is Leffe Blond. I am sure you can find that brand in the UK.
 

 
I've had Leffe Blond and Brun several times. It's ok. I prefer Duvel. 
Now all we need are some Moules-Frites.

So this is where the beer-fi discussion is happening.  Blue Moon is ok for what it is, mass produced Belgian style witbier that lacks the citrus character of a well made witbier (hence the need for an orange slice).  Not a huge fan of Leffe offerings, a bit one dimensional compared to similar beers that are equally readily available (Duvel for a pale blonde ale, and any of the strong dark ale offerings from Unibroue or Belgian breweries).

I see most prefer Duvel for blonde ale. I shall look for it this weekend. Hopefully I'll find it at one of my neighborhood stores or at a local watering hole.
 
EDIT: By the way, I work with this guy, Jason Henry, so I should ask him about his personal brew favs as well as his home brews. He just returned from a beer tour in Belgium and Amsterdam.

I've found a few US breweries that put out a very good Belgian style beer too.  Two that come to mind immediately would be the Allagash White and Ommegang Abbey Ale.  I've yet to try Duvel but I believe I have some in the fridge right now, one of my friends is moving out of state soon and I'm planning to crack that open before he does so we can both try it.

Anyone a fan of Dog Fish Head, or Flying dog? Or Magic Hat? Flying dog has absolutely delicious Pale Ales. I enjoy Blue Moon, but suspect their are far great beglian beers.

LOL. Seems like that.

Hey, check out this restaurant in SF. Pork dumplings and beer flights. I should go there tomorrow after work. Jason is onto something here (he wrote the article and I work with him). Twenty Five Lusk

Fixed that for you

 

[Clayton SF]

^ Thanks, And I fixed it too. AND I haven't had a beer yet.

EDIT: MrQ--you hail from London. What's your fave brew from your area? Or the UK for that matter?

If I had to choose I would go for a Brakspear Triple. Although when out it's sometimes safer to go with a Guinness or a Belguim beer. 
 

 
The UK has a whole organisation dedicated to real ale CAMRA

As long as I have beer and a recipe, I can cook. I am not even close to inventing a dinner, I look for stuff online and follow directions very well. I mostly drink Sam Adams seasonals and Cherry Wheat, and most anything Deschutes puts out, their Black Butte Porter is great.
