Not as long and extensive as my usual blog posts and a bit too staccato and all over the place, but it became too long for the News section, so blog post it is.

De Efteling and beer
Those who know me, know I love De Efteling, a fairy tale theme park nearby. And the park has several exclusive beers!
Beer: Kraftbier Vroemmm…
After the interesting HEMA tompouce beer experiment last year, I got the chance to taste another beer and candy combination: The Kraftbier Vroemmm…
Beer: HEMA Tompouce Ale
So, this was a thing in the Netherlands this year. Our wholesome Dutch store HEMA decided to launch their own beer!
Düsseldorf
I’ve been to Düsseldorf several times and no doubt I will visit the city again in the future. It’s one of my most favorite beer cities!
Discworld Beers
What I also love are thematic food products. Not the pasted on lolly’s, but the Hartenkoeken from the Efteling, the Laafse Lurk, Lebber and Limoen, The Harry Potter candy that was very popular in the nillies and the Discworld ales that were available until two years ago.
American lagers
We managed to get our hands on some beers brewed in America! And that’s something, because they aren’t easy to get around here.
Dortmund
As I visited Burton last year with the new students, I visited Dortmund in 2018 with my own study group. Our assignment was to brew a Dortmunder Export, but none of us ever drank a Dortmunder Export before.
New year’s eve 2017
In 2017 I finished StiBON level 1 and I put it to the test immediately. I decided to make a New Year’s beer-food-pairing dinner of three courses for eleven diners
Brewery: Cantillon
When I visited Brussels last year it wasn’t specifically for the beery things. The main beery thing of the trip was a Gueuze brewery, namely Cantillon.
