@vetlazybierkaai is open! I really missed these gu @vetlazybierkaai is open! I really missed these guys, happy to be back at their bar, enjoying their fluffy beers and the best view in Rotterdam. Their new bar is beautiful! For their interior they used mostly sustainable or recycled materials, like the soundproof paper maché ceiling, the recycled vinyl floor, and scrapwood tables. The bar is made from local Rotterdam wood (Overschie) and they put in the Rolls Royce of tapsystems. The crazy and hilarious wallpaper was designed by the same artist who creates their fun beer labels. It is hot as hell today in the sun, so I'm sitting inside. It already feels like home ❤️ #bierkaai #vetlazybierkaai #drinklocal #vetlazy #010bier #beerstagram #tropicana #maasboulevard #demaas #bestviewin010 #010beerblog
On my last trip to London I visited @wildcardbrewe On my last trip to London I visited @wildcardbrewery, which I had learned about through their head brewer's (Jaega Wise) book Wild Brews. The brewery was started in 2012 and they have now two taprooms in East London. It was a fun trip by subway and double-decker bus to get there. The brewery is in an industrial area in Walthamstow and has a big terrace with lots of seating outdoors and indoors. Great for a sunny afternoon. By happy accident I learned there are several more in the neighborhood, which they call the Blackhorse Beer Mile. There is so much fun beer stuff going on in London! #wildcardbrewery #blackhorsebeermile #walthamstow #craftbeer #beermile #craftbeerlife #eastlondon #brewery #010beerblog
Like many breweries @brewbynumbers is navigating s Like many breweries @brewbynumbers is navigating stormy weathers. The South East London brewery was founded in 2011 and makes excellent quality beers with recognizable labels built around a system of numbers. This year there was talk of the brewery entering into administration, but an announced restructuring deal gives hope that their well-loved beers will continue to be made. 🍺 In anticipation of the London Craft Beer Festival this weekend I cracked open a 10th anniversary beer, a collab with 🇳🇴 Norwegian brewery Amundsen and a twist on their seasonal Porter. The beer's name hints at Chocolate, Orange and Cinnamon so I paired it with my mom's vegan banana bread. The first notes were very bitter dark chocolate, almost ashtray-like. This mellowed out after it warmed up a bit, but the orange and cinnamon flavors never really appeared. Not what I was hoping for, but I'm still a fan and am keeping my fingers crossed that they'll come through and stick around for a long time! #londonbeer #brewbynumbers #beercation #beermondsey #bbno #porter #beerfestival #craftbeer #beerstagram #craftbeerlife #ilikemybeeronthedarkside #010beerblog
Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting @eleg Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting @elegast_cidery in Langbroek for a tour and tasting. After this they will stop all tours (for now anyway) as their busiest season is coming up. Not a surprise then that it was sold out! With 20 other guests we got some insights into their cider production and tasted 5 beautiful ciders. The cidery consists of one big warehouse space containing three big fibreglass tanks, a few foeders and many smaller plastic containers. I had never seen fibreglass tanks before. Apparently they are also used in the wine industry. When empty are light and easy to move around, yet very strong as they can hold up to 8500 liters per tank 💪🏻. The foeders were bought from Oersoep, who had to move out of their production location in Nijmegen. Harvest season is coming up, so there was no apple pressing going on at the time, but we did get to see all the equipment used, like the conveyor belt, the shredder, the press etc. In addition to the love of cider, the inspiration for Elegast comes from the love of nature and its conservation. Many of the apples and pears they use are not fit for consumption or are not commercially interesting, but they are perfect for making tasty ciders! Everything is 100% organic and vegan. The love of nature is also reflected in the logo - a golden jackal. They were inspired by other labels, such as whiskey brands, who use nature (and animals) in their logos. The choice for the jackal was somewhat random: newspapers at the time had reported on the golden jackal being spotted in the Netherlands for the first time in decades. The name of the cidery 'Elegast' comes from the famous Dutch medieval story 'Karel ende Elegast'. Instagram is not giving me enough room to describe the 5 ciders we tasted, so I will add that text to the FB post. They were Bobby's cider, Revival, Perry, Vreedehorst Wild Cider and Plum Cider. All of them are delicious and available on their website! #elegastcidery #dutchcider #cider #applejuice #elegast #craftcider #beerstagram #010beerblog
