Okay, this is so weird. I came across this June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine at our local flea market and I was shockingly struck by how much the guy licking Hitler’s boots looks like…

Today would have been Jean-Jacque's 70th birthday, but he was taken from us too young in 2017, lung cancer, non-smoker -> ICE pollution, buy an EV folks Every year I reflect and drink a couple of Westmalle Triples, his favourite beer, one each - not the most onerous of tasks I have to admit

Uncanny #BskyBeer As pils goes, Silly pils is very tasty, somewhat sweet… the BBP Terra is ok, nothing special… DuPont Saison dry-hopped, way more bitter and less fruity than their normal saison - think I prefer the original…

Stumbled across this Kasteel Tropical yesterday, must be new, never seen it before - the sort of fruity filth the wife enjoys… A light aperitif for me, not too bad halfway between pils and and an IPA #BskyBeer

Out to the resto with wifey and into the craft ale bar on the way back home A relatively generic 9% Serge “hoppy triple” for myself from Babeleir Wife has a 12% Sobremesa pastry stout from Basqueland and it’s one of the most amazing beers I’ve ever tasted - imagine wedding cake/espresso, fabulous!

It’s got to be done - and that’s a 50cl Chouffe glass too (which I purloined from a bar some years ago 🫢) #BskyBeer

Time to grab the Val-Dieu glass from the back of the cupboard - a very fine beer if you stumble across it, as is the bruin and the triple The Mort Subite for the wife is new, and absolutely foul, she’ll love it #BskyBeer

It’s Father’s Day in Denmark, and although I’m not Danish and live in Belgium, my kids are Danish, so my one daughter gave me this 😋 #BskyBeet

I drink way too much, and one easy way to cut down 90% is to stop boozing at home So time to try the low alcohol beers again A little sugary and missing the kick of the alcohol, but otherwise they genuinely taste like beer - the Flora (BioPlanet) and Delta are excellent +shit, my glass! #BskyBeer

Would be rude not to have a TA while I’m here… and a nice coffee stout with the dessert Now I need to remember to go to the gig… #BskyBeer

The food is fantastic… Seef - don’t remember this until I saw the bottle, used to buy it in the supermarket circa 2017, made with buckwheat, a little malty for my tastes #BskyBeer

Out to a gig tonight - The Flaming Lips at De Roma in Antwerp (never thought I’d get to see them live!!), and the venue has a cafe next door with a pre-show menu, so why not! Nice, hoppy, slightly acidic local beer, very tasty #BskyBeet

Bought this for the wife, deceived by the label and mistakenly thinking it was a peach beer… it’s not, so I’ll have to suffer it - not a big fan of Grimbergen, although I’ll make the effort when there’s no choice and the bruin is passable on tap #BskyBeer

Precious things from the bar - the 10% porter is particularly impressive, same brewery as the Hopnituzed NEIPA, deep, sting espresso notes (could literally be coffee with a vodka chaser 😋) #BskyBeer

N’Ice Chouffe is one of the lesser known beers from the Achouffe, brewery, but it’s damn fine with a fairly robust with 10% ABV and strong iron-filings notes #BskyBeer

A new glass for the collection… can’t say that Delerium Tremens is my favourite beer, it’s a bit sickly-sweet and cloying, last time I drank it I passed-out and it gives me dreadful hangovers - I prefer their Argentum But that glass is lovely, with lots attention to detail #BskyBeer

An apero before we walk the dogs and the chance to get a rare glass out of the cupboard - how many out there have a Lindemans Pecheresse/Kriek/Famboise glass like this? #BskyBeer

Out for our 25th anniversary last night, our usual resto and then a couple of beers at Le Silex craft-ale bar on the walk home - this was a very interesting DIPA, quite thick and chewy with strong treacle-toffee notes And somehow I ended up having two first courses 😂 #BskyBeer

How it started, how it's going Yesterday was our 25th anniversary - not marriage, that's next year, but becoming a "thing", our first kiss was May 9th 2000 at 22:45, outside my apartment after a nice evening at the Duomo vegetarian resto in Ixelles First know photo together Nov 2020n Copenhagen

Had to keep it civil, but hopefully it's clear enough Sometimes impossible to avoid using Amazon, but paying then a sub for something I rarely use makes no sense And can't remember the last time I watched anything on their TV app, the choice there is terrible and anything decent you have to pay
