Daft Eejit Brewing
Hi, I'm Andreas Krennmair. I blog about home-brewing, beer history and my occasional beer-related travels. - Daft Eejit Brewing
dafteejit.com
Hello, new followers! I'm Andreas, and I mostly post about beer-related topics. I brew beer at home, occasionally research various niche topics of beer history, and blog about it on dafteejit.com.
I also wrote and self-published a few beer history and home-brewing books (available on Amazon): 🧵

One of the hardly ever discussed elements of German pub culture is the "Hausmarke" (lit. "house brand"): pubs get surplus kegs of lager for a lower price, but in turn, they can't say which beer it is. It's always a surprise to order it, sometimes it's just okay, sometimes it's excellent like today.

Yesterday's dinner: nohut dürüm. Chickpeas pan-fried with spices (cumin and chili powder) and wrapped in a thin flatbread with a simple salad of parsley, red onions, lemon juice and sumac. Absolutely delicious, and so incredibly easy to make.

At this point we'd walked for hours and seen no sign of life, except rats gnawing on what might have been a human hand, and a makeshift gyrocopter circling high above. The Roamers rarely come out during the day, after all – or, at least, know how to ensure they're not seen.
