I've got a job for @DP when in Amsterdam....

Not sure these boys are doing a particularly good job of making beer. This is a completey forgetful dipa and the second disappointment from the same brewery in the last couple of weeks.

Can you go around and give them a bit of dp advice...

Not tried anything from them, although I’ve seen the bottles. The scene here is still evolving and there are a few not so great breweries. It’s not like England where there’s a background tradition of high quality independent brewers, so the entry barrier here is a bit lower quality wise: fancy label, decent social media presence and you can be in business. Having said that, the decent breweries are getting better and I suspect the next few years will see a bit of a shakedown and hopefully some of the crappier ones will fall by the wayside.

For my money, Het Uiltje are making great IPAs and Moersleutel are the go to guys for stouts.

In Amsterdam, Oedipus seem to have worked on producing a really decent set of core beers and Het Ij have been doing good stuff for ages (and recently got acquired by Duvel).

I'vehad the st night vision and the double boch which were really good. The double boch gave me a shock as I hadn't read the label... then realised it was an apple strudel boch!

I think I have just bought the most expensive draft beer I have ever bought. Maybe the most expensive full stop.

Hoppin Frog B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Imp. Stout at £7.45 for a third.

Even more spirit nose than it's 9.4% ABV promises. It's intense. Will I have another? No, even if it were cheaper. Glad I tried it? Natch! These things have to be tried.

Due to circumstances we don't need to go into right now, I'm still working my way through the selection above.

Tonight's tipple is the always excellent Workie Ticket from Mordue Brewery. The blurb says "A tasty complex beer with malt and hops throughout with a long satisfying bitter finish" which sounds about right.
