Behind Door No. 8: Petite Gueuze #Tilquin. Interesting: unlike many other G(u)euzes, this is not a blend of "straight" Lambics, but of 30% Lambic and 70% Meerts (aka "Table Lambic", i.e. Lambic made from second runnings).

330ml can with a very simple yellow and blue label. Basically just the name of the beer, no artwork.

It's time for #Europe to stop whining and finally man up. I'm not even into making jokes about DT or smirking at Hegseth's BS anymore.

With the #NSS, it is clear now that the #USA are a power that is hostile to us.

You don't make stupid jokes about your enemies. You cut them off.

Bei diesem neuen Scheißnamen, den sich das #BSW gegeben hat, kann der de Masi in Zukunft wenigstens nicht mehr rumopfern, dass jemand den Namen mit einem anderen verwechselt haben könnte. 😂

Behind Door No. 3: #OuterRange Gnarly Trees West Coast IPA. Solid brewery, have had a couple of their brews already - either at festivals or "from the can". 🍺

440ml can in white, green, red, black. A stylized tree on the front, the style is reminiscent of Piet Mondrian.

Behind Door No. 2: #FunkyFluid Mulled Gelato Ice Cream Sour.

I don't mind Ice Cream Sours; I have had some quite decent ones so far. But I always feel that they work better from the tap than from the can. Let's see how this one shakes out.🍺

(28 Nov 25): The motto for today's #BeerNerd|s' session is "The Festive Season". I know one of my friends is bringing a pumpkin ale (counts toward #Thanksgiving I guess), so I decided to go full #Xmas with this vintage bottle of #Flea Noel 2021 Amber Ale. 🍺

(08 Nov 25): The theme for today's #BeerNerd tasting is "The Ancient World". There are some Rome or Norse Gods themed beers, but when we were at Pakhuis #Twente the other day, I stumbled across the Lugdunum series by #XBrewing, which I'm sure counts. 👇
Two 330 ml cans. Same simple design (large stylized "L" and the name of the beer), but different colors (green and blue)

(31 Oct 25): annual pre-seasonal shopping tour with the other #BeerNerd s: Pakhuis #Twente (Albergen), IMHO one of the greatest craft beer locations in the Netherlands, way out west near the German border. 👇

(10 Oct 25): Celebrating one of the #BeerNerd s' birthday this weekend & presenting him with the full 75cl range by #Montblanc. Founded in '99; taken over by Duvel Moortgat '24. Their specialty are fruit/herb infused beers, e.g. "La Verte" with glacier wormwood.🍺

Gute Nachrichten, denn im Moment fliegen wir noch mit vier uralten P-3C Orion, die wir gebraucht in den Niederlanden gekauft haben.

(15 Sep 25): My contribution to our monthly themed tasting. This month's motto is "WAR". I realized how many military and war-themed beers there actually are (Lancaster Bomber, Spitfire, Waterloo, Trooper, etc etc). These four are by #Kanone in Bavaria.

Four brown half liter beer bottles. The labels all look similar, with an old-fashioned cannon as logo, just in different colors.

(5 Sep 25) Final day of the #BeerNerd #RoadTrip. We were in free roam mode today, so we returned to where we began our beer nerdery 20 years ago - the annual #BelgianBeerWeekend in #Brussels. We left there HATING it, so we decided to grace some craft beer bars 🧵👇

(4 Sep 25): Day 6 of the #BeerNerd s' #RoadTrip. We ticked off all remaining breweries on our list: #TipsyTribe (really really recommend), #BrasserieDeLaSenne, and #LaSource.

Will have a day "off" to free roam as a result tomorrow. 🍻
