Definitely going on Friday, but looking unlikely on Saturday.

Aw shame, are you around Sunday? Thinking I might cycle back through your neck of the woods.

I just found the most amazing beer shop in Tokyo. They even stock at least 8 beers by DP's local, De Mollen, but also practically all the main Belgians, lots of US Microbrewers, some Brits like Thornbridge (they do the Raven black IPA), and all the Japanese guys. shame I'm trying to cut down...

Bit of a selfish attitude, you should support the industry and your shop by buying more beer!

Tasting of Het Uiltje beers, a newish Dutch brewer. The beers vary from very good to total triumphs.
We've just had a chilpoltle smoked porter. Unbefreekinbeleivable!!
Edit: that was quite a night. Seven beers in all to taste - 3 IPAs, a black IPA, a saison, a barley wine and a smoked porter. The black IPA is my new favourite - super fresh with lovely simcoe hop flavour and just a little toast. Managed to fall asleep on the train on the way home and ended up at the airport.

Nice surprise last night, when a guy who lives in the same cohousing project brought back 6 bottles of Orval. Very good indeed, although I have to say - and this will be heresy to some - I prefer Unibroue's equivalent...
I popped into a pub in the City yesterday for a swifty before the ToB riders turned up - eventually finding one open the only potable draught bitter was from down my way in Sussex as it happens and is served frequently in my local.
Long Man brewery - I had a pint of the Long Blonde - nice enough but a bit too flowery and hoppy for more than one

Was having a chat with a mate who's working at Borefts. The beers to watch out for are XXV from Emelisse (it's an icecream-maker job, so I have my doubts) and Plastic Soup from De Molen (not on the list I think, but aged in several different barrels apparently). Hit them early before they sell out. This year's fad will be balsamic vinegar beers.
Plans are for a visit early Friday. Unlikely I'll get there Saturday, but give me a call if you're in Delft on Sunday - i'll bag you some bottles from Het Uiltje!

Doesn't sound entirely promising!
