Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm useless at all those fancy Belgian beers, I can never remember which is which. In the end I took the recommendation from the bartender and had the Gollem IPA followed by the La Chouffe, both of which were jolly nice.

Plenty of opportunities over the next couple of days though to broaden my horizons

You don't often see it, worth trying.

Who knows? I bought a cheap box of 25 CDs of jazz. I'm somewhere under the English Channel and the sleeve notes are in Guildford.

So what you are saying is that you have a box of jazz mags in the south east somewhere . This is a job for @Fnaar

@srw 'Cos I like Karmeliet

That home drinking version is the one favoured by Morrissey, I hear. Although people have argued that it's the same as the one you see in pubs etc, he says there is a Karmeliet that never goes out.

Day 2 afternoon and the beer quality is on the up

Finished a walking tour of Amsterdam with some Bitteballs, frites and a glass of this one. Texels Skuumkoppe Dunkelweizen. Pretty good

But not in the same league as thus Trippel that I had later in the afternoon

Off for a couple at a top beer bar tonight before dinner so perhaps a couple more pics to follow

Not had a frikandellen yet but there's still time. I have to say it is jolly nice to go in a bar and find they have La Trappe Dubbel and Trippel on draft

don't ask for a Frilkandellen - that's like asking for a panini

Shudder..

Shudder..

Hang about, that's your kitchen worktop, isn't it. You've had to make space so the beer bottles don't photo-bomb your speciaal! Shudder indeed.

Dinner sorted - French neighbors are going on their hols and just dropped off some perishables. I've reported them to "we want plates".

The beer is Double Wide IPA from Boulevard Brewing in Kansas. It was bought by Duvel a coule of years ago, so we seem to be seeing quite a bit of it now. Decent enough US style IPA.

The wooden board looks to be the most appetising thing, apart from the beer natch.

They were a bit cold in the photo - they've warmed up now and are making their presence felt!
