Beer?

[User169]

Guldenberg from De Ranke. My favorite tripel - nice and hoppy, at least by Belgian standards.

I had a "grrrr" every time he said that as well.

Chillax, Marmy, you cantankerous old daffodil

I have standards. But that is just "daffodilery" (I had to edit as adding -ery to Daffodil escape the swear checker)

Now I'm a grown up, the Orval hits the right spots @smutchin ...

Does it taste even better out of the right glass?

After a tough day in the office, during which we announced major changes and I breathed a sigh of relief that two months of keeping things secret were over, I've been watching Millionaires' Mansions on Channel 4 - proof that there's a negative correlation between wealth and taste and between wealth and self-awareness. ("I can't step on the grass, I'm wearing silk shoes").

Perfect accompaniments - a lamb shish/chicken doner combination kebab with Peroni, an M&S smoked ruby ("smoked cherrywood - tasted more like BBQ sauce added to beer to me), M&S chocolate porter with baklava, and Guinness Foreign Exra to finish.

I've got a few more bottles at home, but I suspect that I'll need to come off the beer for a while more or less. Take a look at the photo I posted this morning for evidence...

Last night - 3 pints of Red Rye down the boozer, no pics, no nuffink...

M&S 31 Hop IPA, they haven't put too many in because it doesn't taste over-hopped by any means. It's a nice pale ale rather than an IPA, pleasant but unremarkable. All the hop varieties are listed on the neck label but I can't be arsed to copy them.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Yeah that's hoppy...

Mrs 3BM gave me this handy device that turns an empty bottle into an attractive light. Prize for whoever (stand down DP) can identify the brewery from the bottle.

Is it a Westvleteren fron St Sixtus...... cheated had to ask the boy!

I am in that Holland, last night I had three from mr heijn before tiredness took over and I fell asleep in the armchair in my room...

The Oedipus Szechuan pepper saison was... Ok, wanted more pepper to make it stand out though. Then there was a porter from a US brewery that I bought for the pretty label... I've totally forgotten what it was though. But... This year's duvel triple hop is bloody lovely, very spicey and no astringency.

Oh, and the four pure bear tooth us brown ale that I had on the boat was really really good, will be having more of that.

Today though, Rotterdam for kaapse brouwers

It does.

I lived on Boompjeskade for a short time and a favourite afternoon was to take the water taxi to Hotel New York.

It's really rather nice in here yes, the harrie saison was tremendous
