EPIC BREWING - A few weeks ago I was fortunate to

EPIC BREWING - A few weeks ago I was fortunate to visit beautiful Utah for the first time and the brewery & 'tapless' taproom of @epicbrewingslc 🇺🇸, well-known for their Big Bad Baptist BA series. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, not only thanks to the great beers but also the wonderful company of Tristan, Epic's bartender and beer expert.

In 2009 Epic Brewing Company became Utah’s first brewery since prohibition to exclusively brew high-alcohol content beer. A bit odd to have a tapless taproom? That has everything to do with Utah’s strict alcohol laws. Restaurants and bars can serve draft beer up to 5%. A higher ABV is considered a high alcohol beer, also called “High-point beer,” or “Heavy beer, which is pretty much all Epic brews haha!

I very much appreciated that they served taster sizes, as I was on a mission to visit all breweries. And it's just so much more customer friendly (and appropriate for Utah) to not make pint size beers mandatory, which was the case at some other places.

🍺 Tart 'n Juicy - Sour IPA 5.1%, grapefruit sourness and bitterness. I loved this beer, one of my favorites of the Utah trip.

🍺 Big Bad Baptist BA with cocoa nibs and coffee added - Imperial Stout 11.5%

🍺 Utah Sage Saison release #57 - 6.5% Belgian Strong Golden Ale, herbal and peppery, took some getting used to!

🍺 Brainless - 8.9% Belgian style Golden Ale, mild sweetness and hoppiness, not too estery which I like.

@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 ❤️

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!

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!
