Beer?

[User169]

A gentle start to the weekend. Schneider Weisse - my fave Bavarian wheat beer. Huge amounts of banana esters!

Off out for a curry and a few beers from work tonight

Went to a mate's house the other day and had a De Leckere organic beer, quite unremarkable. He's Dutch and was wearing his wooden clogs too so that kind of made up for the poor beer.

Gotta be honest, I'm not a huge fan of De Leckere. I'd agree with you, a bit pedestrian.

Horn Dog from Flying Dog. A rather pokey 10.2% barley wine.

Bommen en Granaten Cascade Dry Hopped. Prolly done this one before, but it's my fave DeMo.

I had these two the other night

Neither really struck me. Not a lot going on with them.

Crackle, I've tried and liked the Citra from Oakham ales-citrussy and hoppy without being over the top....definitely worth a punt imo.

this stuff was reputed to be the strongest ale in the uk years ago,what is it about 12%,i opened a few once as my god father worked the brewery,thick and sweet

It's 11.7, plenty about these days at more than that, @Delftse Post would consider it a session beer

Aye, I might need to try them again as I have a cold this week, so that probably knocked the top off my taste buds. That's my excuse anyhow.

a couple of lovelies from a recent trip to Brugges

 

[uphillstruggler]

and some more recent

during and after a particularly good curry

The après Curry for the remainder of the evening - very good too.

but did you find the door at the end of the alley that sells beer that it brews itself? even having the good grace to sell salami and give you free cheese with each beer purchased?

it has been mentioned in other threads and is no1 on trip advisor I believe, but given all of that, I still managed to stumble in and realise only later that it was the aforementioned hostelry........over three floors.

Brugges is wonderful at any time of year but especially in winter.

Columbus from Het Ij in Amsterdam. A spicy Belgian-style 9% strong ale. Het ij beers are very distinctive. Not sure if it's their yeast or if they actually add spices. Whatever - v tasty.
