Shut up about Barclay Perkins

As I promised myself, I rise fairly late. After a good, long, deep sleep. It’s done me a power of good. While I’m in the bathroom I hear a...

I managed to get the last two pints of SSS in Wildeman last night. And Menno has told me that he'll be brewing my KKK and Russian Stout ...

Quick question for you all. I suppose I ought to explain the reason asking it first. Menno has hops and is ready to start recreating the pas...

From reports trickling in, it appears that my beers are finally hitting the shelves in the US. Great news. If you've been one of the luc...

Here, as promised, is my first report from the edge. The edge of my garden, to be precise. Borrel met de buren. Drinks at our next-door neig...

You may have noticed that May is Mild month. Here's another post in my short series. It's hard to imagine today, but for most of its...

Down my throat really nicely. And quickly. The unseasonally warm weather in Amsterdam and my lack of cold, hard cash have contributed to the...

I noticed my pages have become almost text only. Time for some more pictures. Lexie is always drawing and painting. He asked me to join in y...

The poll for what I should get brewed next is now closed. The results were: 1856 and 1937 Barclay Perkins IBSt 28% 1880's Guinness Porte...

Forgive me for not posting much this week. Monday I dropped by Bodegraven to pick up some beer. My beer. Six bottles each of Porter and SS...

I was going to get all didactic today and tell you exactly why I'd picked those pairs. No, I don't mean pears. Pairs. Of beers. Ther...

Restless (rudderless, some might say) as ever, I'm already thinking of my next brewing project. Before my first beers have even been rel...

I've finally gotten around to photographing my other beer. SSS Stout from 1914. It's not ready to drink just yet. To taste it at its...

And I just can't hide it. It's not Lichtenhainer that's getting me worked. Nor my DDR label scans that I finally found this even...
