Blind tiger

A blind tiger is another name for a speakeasy: a hidden bar where alcohol was served during Prohibition. The door of the place would have the picture of a blind tiger or a blind pig, a curiosum which punters could admire after paying a ticket. This ticket was mostly given in the shape of a token which was exchanged for a ‘free’ drink. This way, bar owners could bypass the strict prohibition laws. Hailing from a small country in the western part of Europe, they export a highly exclusive and uniquely Belgian Blind Tiger, distilled in small batches, to distributors all over the drinking world.
