Beer Tastes Better With Good Company

avatar

As I was reminded about the weekly #BeerSaturday writing challenge by Detlev last week, I thought it would be a good time to once again submit a little beer story of mine. It took a little longer to come up with a post as I was staying away from alcohol while recovering from post-Covid symptoms. Luckily, these symptoms faded away quite quickly and it was time for another beer.

As the title of this post suggests, I drank some beers with good company. My brother and his family, to be precise. Last weekend I once again visited my brother to hang out and play board games. This is a perfect occasion to pop some fresh brewskis! This time we got ourselves some beer from brewery 't IJ. This is an Amsterdam-based microbrewery, named after the waterway located next to the Amsterdam central station.

This specific beer was named Natte, which is a 6.5% double. The name translates roughly to wet-one, a colloquial name for beer in the Netherlands. I always like the logo of `t IJ, which is an ostrich with an eg. I guess because in Dutch IJ is pronounced similarly to the word for egg.

I once actually visited the brewery in Amsterdam, which is located next to a typical Dutch windmill. If you are ever in Amsterdam, I can really recommend visiting for some nice brews. It's located nicely along the waterside and has great outdoor seating.

While enjoying the beers, we played a fun game of worms. Of course, I lost every time. But I had fun nevertheless!

For all those beer lovers out there: have a great sunny weekend with your friends, family, and lots of nice brewskis!

Cheers! 🍻

That Brewery looks to be in the perfect 'dutch' scene for tourists, windmill and all

Yeah the mill is very convenient for luring in tourists! But windmill or not, it’s a nice place to visit👌

Dear @michelmake, we need your help!

The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.

May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
