Fantastic hospitality in the small Dordrecht city brewery. They brew small scale, 8000L a year with volunteers and students. You can visit them whenever they're open and they do have a great story! They even let me taste some wort :) 🍻

I visited them in the small amount of time I had in a somewhat long train connection, that I extended by another 30 minutes. Great find!

mail is the best mail!

I received a box full of goodness from the Maximus

in Utrecht (NL), following the release of their newest special: Psycho Cyclops NEIPA. I tried it, and wrote a blog post about the experience!

Spoiler: it's smooooth, not bitter at all, and massively tropical.🍻

A dangerous thing to see when walking by the craft beer shop on my way home. Tried a taste of Dovetail's new pils - I think I might have to go try it more at their brewery around the corner.

A white sign on a sidewalk reads "Dovetail Beer Tasting!" in black, bold letters.

A visit to Stadshaven in Rotterdam, with tasting and dinner. Impressively large scale operation, good for 2 million liters a year.
A large range of beers from lager and smoked märzen, through Belgian styles, Dutch Bock as well as IPAs, winter ales and porter.

I needed a sketch of the brewing process that I could freely use, that is aimed at a general audience and that serves as a "short summary" from which any one of the elements can be discussed in more detail.

I came up with this, and I'd appreciate any feedback! Note: of course this would be accompanied by text in practical use.

Went out to Pherm Brewing in Gambrills, MD earlier today. They had a new Mango Habanero IPA out, and I wanted to try out the Pho Wheels food truck too.

I had a few small pours, and a full pour of the Caspian (mango habanero IPA that I wish had a bit more heat) and their Forbin (American IPA).

Pho Wheels was down right fantastic. I got their Banh Mirria (Banh Mi and Birria fusion), and their tacos with a fried egg on each.

@Zarf joined me on the latter half of the visit. Great times.

For a change, I did a brewery tour and beer tasting for people I know very well: my colleagues of the regular day job! Good fun to interact in a totally different setting for once!
