This years festival was more cramped than last time and eventually me and Per got tired of both the crowd and the wine and decided to go for a beer. So we walked across the bridge to Bishops Arms. It didn't take us long to have 5-6 bottles of beer lined up in front of us. We focused mainly on hopped up IPAs and DIPAs, but a couple of other beers managed to mix in with the crowd.
BrewDog Hardcore IPA was the one that stood out the most. Would love to try it again when I don't have countless of wine samples in my belly. We also had Avery IPA and BrewDog 5am Saint. Tractor-Kalle decided to try a bottle of De Molen Hel & Verdoemenis and I wasn't late to sneak a small sample out of the bottle. I finished the set with a bottle of Mikkeller Black. Which definitely was the biggest mistake of the evening. Even though it was expensive I probably should have left the 17,5% beer in it's glass as I had to rush off to the bus.
Talk about a spectacular finish to the evening. Did you like Mikkeller Black?
ReplyDeleteI've tried it before and loved it. So I will catalogue this as a drunken misstake ;)

ReplyDeleteThanks Clock! :D How the hell do you remember stuff like this?
ReplyDeleteI keep records of people's birthdays in a highly secured vault :P
ReplyDeleteActually it's a litany of different sources, like my mobile phone, facebook, various .txt-documents residing on my desktop, stuff like that. I usually happen over the right source (except for the phone which alerts me ofc) at just about the right time - lucky me ^^
Oh, and I just thought that it might have been a rhetorical question, but I went ahead and took it seriously :P
No I was actually interested. Hmm maybe I should write stuff like this down as well. I usually just find out about stuff like this from someone else. ;)
