#supportlocal Quarantine certainly does have its p #supportlocal Quarantine certainly does have its perks, like working in a tanktop and after work drinks in the blazing sunshine! And the shortest commute ever, from the study to the balcony 😂. In support of our local breweries I'm drinking a Trotse Pauw tripel by @brouwerijgroos, a microbrewery in Rotterdam. I think they make only two beers, both tripels. And though normally I'm not a tripel fan (my palate translates most Belgian beer styles into 'soapy') this one isn't like that at all. Nice hoppy bitterness with a little extra boost from the coriander and a good body. It contains three types of malt (barley, oat and wheat). No sweet undertones. Really like it! Groos means proud by the way in our local dialect 💪🏻. And I'm very proud of our Rotterdam breweries! Cheers to the weekend! Or Tuesday, or whatever day it is now hahaha #quarantineday23 #brouwerijgroos #rotterdambeer #drinklocal #rotterdam #supportyourlocals010 #imhereforthebeer #tripel #craftbeerlife #craftbeer #microbrewery #beerstagram #happyhermit #beerchick #010beerblog
It's here! For all you @peakyblindersofficial fans It's here! For all you @peakyblindersofficial fans there is now a @thornbridge Shelby IPA! Inspired by the style of beer consumed in 1919 at the time of The Peaky Blinders. I even found the perfect accessory pairing for it: my favorite @ninewest hat! Maybe Tommy Shelby wil let me be in his gang? Fun fact: the show is loosely based on a real 19th century urban youth gang of the same name, who were active in Birmingham from the 1890s to the early twentieth century. The group was known for its violence not only on innocent civilians but also on rival gangs and constables. Contrary to popular belief, most Peaky Blinders were from the middle class and had jobs. What is also historically different from the show is that the Sabini gang eventually took over control. After the gang disappeared in the 1920s the name "Peaky Blinders" became synonymous slang for any street gang in Birmingham. About the beer: to me this tasted more like a hoppier pilsner than an English IPA. But then again I've never tasted an IPA from the 1920s. Beer is fine, nothing special. Bottle label is cool though. #peakyblinders #shelbyipa #canibeinyourgang #ipa #beer #craftbeer #craftbeerlife #tvbeer #beerstagram #thornbridge #010beerblog
I was so excited to taste this very special collab I was so excited to taste this very special collaboration between @dogfishhead and @rodenbachbeer, now available in Rotterdam at @bierenzo.nl. Vibrant P'Ocean is less sour than I expected, but is surprisingly well-balanced and still has managed to keep its complexity. Very impressed! I believe this is the first collab Rodenbach has ever done, so that makes it extra special. Dogfish Head describes it as: Vibrant P’Ocean is a complex, ruby-colored beer with tart, dry flavors of jammy berries and floral lemon. To create this trans-oceanic potion, we carefully combined two unique base beers – one developed by RODENBACH and the other by our brewers here in Milton. RODENBACH'S portion – a two-year, foeder-aged sour from its legendary, standing oak casks – was brewed in Belgium before making its 3,400-mile (or 1,000-nautical league) voyage to coastal Delaware. From there, we blended it with our portion – a kettle sour brewed with pilsner malt, malted wheat, elderberry, elderflower, sliced lemons and Belgian fleur-de-sel. What does have to do with Texas and cowboys? Absolutely nothing! I was just really looking forward to trying this beer and wearing my boots again hahaha. There is a link between Dogfish and Texas though.... Dogfish Head together with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema created the annual OCFF (Off-centered Film Fest) in Austin featuring celebrity guests from the film and beer worlds, gourmet food, extreme beers, great prizes and independent/classic films. This mainstay of the Austin event landscape has made a name for itself showcasing off-centered films for off-centered people. What's not to love about Texas, right? I've had these boots from before my vegan days, but I decided it is even less sustainable to throw things away.... Just in case you were about to comment on that 😉 #dogfishhead #rodenbach #texas #cowgirl #sourbeer #ilikemybeeronthesourside #cowboyboots #collaboration #vibrantpocean #craftbeerlife #craftbeer #dontmesswithtexas #beercan #canart #beerstagram #stayathome #010beerblog
#supportlocal My first fresh crowler from @bierenz #supportlocal My first fresh crowler from @bierenzo.nl. This is @verdantbrew pale ale I Will Need Your Signature. It's single hopped with Mosaic and so wonderfully fruity that I would totally have guessed this was a NEIPA. Smooth as ever and no hopburn. I love Verdant's sassy beers! This is definitely one I could drink meer of! I only had one this time, but I love the idea of buying fresh crowlers at the beer store. Please do this again! A while back at the Brewda festival I asked one of the Verdant guys where the name comes from. The word in English from the Old French word for 'green' 🌱 and in modern English means green with grass or other rich vegetation (of the countryside). He didn't know the story behind the name, but thought this may very well be it, since the area where the brewery is located (county of Cornwall) is known for its wild moorland landscapes and long and varied coastline. I love how they describe themselves on their website: "In 2014, we started Verdant to make beers that we love. Nothing’s changed. It’s still about taste, quality, and all ’round deliciousness. Think juicy, hoppy, unfiltered, hazy beers that are always vegan! That’s us. Apart from the vegan bit. We’re bad at being vegan, but our beers are great at it. We’re independent, and always will be — that way we can continue to push boundaries and make beer we love, and hopefully you will love them too." Mission accomplished. I do ❤️ your beers! And as of today they are all sold out on their website and are taking a much needed Corona break. Glasswork is by the wonderful Dallas brewery @celestialbeerworks #verdantbrewingco #bierenzo #paleale #iwillneedyoursignature #beer #crowler #craftbeer #craftbeerlife #beerstagram #drinkfresh #supportyourlocals #stayathome #beerstore #010beerblog
