Blimey, someone's sounding ant-sy
Just back from the boozer after a quadruple pinter with some old beer chums.
I had the Firebird Pacific Gem which wasn't as nice as the last time I tried it. A bit TCP-ish. It was the best on offer so I manfully stuck at the task.
It was on draught.

Were you trying to say 'TC pish' in your reportage there, Rich?Just back from the boozer after a quadruple pinter with some old beer chums.

A timely reminder that this is the Beer thread and not Tea-lite...

De Molen's beer festival this weekend. A pretty good looking line-up - this year's theme is "saison with something in it". Still time to jump on the ferry to Hook and then it's a shortish ride to Bodegraven.

Plenty of imp stouts, barley wines and the like for folk what don't want their beer messed about with.
Watch out for hipsters...

Yep, something for everyone, unless boring brown beer is your thing.
It better be good - I've had to turn down a ride with the Giant-Alpecin team to go.

Have you visited the Mikkeller bars or Warpigs yet?!

Here for rides.
The Mikkeller is about 400m from the office front door. What a shame eh? Wonderful beer, dreadful service, the barmen determine who gets served according to looks, woeful seating arrangements but it is still just about warm enough after work to stand in the street. But the Imperial Stout makes cycling home down the cyclesnake a challenge. But well before the snake I only have to make a 50m detour to visit...
Warpigs. "You f*cked me up you c*nt" being the most memorably named brew I sampled. (I just asked "glass of number seven please"). Huge number of seats and full of achingly tragic hipster cockwombles with hobo beards and their partners and offspring. It's the food appaz.
From there it is a short 250m turn of the pedals to Fermentoren. Which is where the equivalent of the cph camra branch hang out, complete with sandals and socks.
Tragically there is not decent bar, that I've found, on the Islands Brygge/Amager side of the harbour, unless I traipse all the way up to Café Langebro.
It's a hard life.
But the truth is I only generally go to bars when tlh is out here, or with one of the ex-pats, as the Danes at work aren't big on after work beers. Some of the Swedes are thobut.

The thing about that porter...
...I was asleep before I finished the second one! Then I woke up, thought "it is too early to go to bed" so I watched Interstellar. A film which made me think. About the big stuff.
And the last thing a guy in his mid-fifties, on his own, far from loved ones, with no one to talk to, the last thing he needs to do is think about the big stuff.
Good job I'm flying home tonight for a long weekend....
