Being a Belgian, I really love a good beer. How about trying to sell some beers to the French? The Maximizing Margins & Managing Customers training in Paris was ideal. So I went searching for some of our best local specialties, each with their own story and I dragged 13 different beers onto the Thalys. Each with their own story… Brewed at full moon, brewed with gagel instead of hops, with three kinds of grain or five kinds of hop, aged in oak barrels, with a witches spell written on it, with cherries and three year old lambik or with Pink Elephants.  If you are in Paris, there are some left on the UNICEF table in the Paris Office but hurry because Daniel Parnell took some to the UK and my dear French colleagues found the way as well.  I sell them for €8 a piece and they will taste even better when you realize that while drinking them you provide an entire family with mosquito nets to protect them from all kinds of problems. Use them as a Xmas gift. Just take the beer home or ask Thibault to put one aside for you and don’t forget to send your sponsor money to Justgiving  Click this link.

Cheers, with love from Belgium.
