I’m back 
Really… I’m physically back from the Netherlands and I really wish I wasn’t.
It seems that a large piece of my mind is still back there.
It took me just one week to fall in love with civilization.
There a
re
thousands of reasons why, but today I’ll just write about one, drinking beer.
Popular belief in our Eastern European country would have us believe that, since they smoke weed, it’s obvious that they should get drunk as well.
I was not surprised, though to find a real beer drinking tradition. And, trust me, it’s worth paying 10 times more for beer there. You will find a very large variety… From stout, to pilsener, from wittbier to rosè and from mass international brands to special edition trappist beer, each of them will be accompanied by it’s own branded 30cl glass and serving ritual.
They’ve really made drinking beer an art and I felt more and more of an artist in the time spent there… if yoy get my point
It’s trully special to enjoy a delicios full-bodied trappist beer on a terace by the cannal in Leyden, a sweet rosè outside a pub from the hills of Rotterdam, or a great Grolsch lager on a boat in Amsterdam, while smok… Well, you get it.So this was my first post about Holland and I would like to leave you with one tip: don’t believe brands when
they say they taste the same in Ro as in NL. Unless they’re imported, they can’t compare.
Proudly over…
M.
