Beer

Fell off the wagon a couple of weeks ago.

La Chouffe.  It's made from the tears of Jebus himself.

Has this been mentioned yet?  Take my enthusiasm with the usual grain of salt as you would from someone who has not sipped a beer in 16 months.

It's very good.  Have you tried the McChouffe?

McChouffe?



Did I do that right?

I need to try this as I've been hearing about it for a while and my brother provided me with the official glassware.

I missed this first time round.  Slak?  Never had La Chouffe?  My gast is suitably flabbered.  Slak, Oleg, you need to get your arses over here and I'll take you to this bar, just round the corner from me.  For starters.

I'll be rectifying this immediately. Perhaps tonight but definitely this week.

You're going to Begium this week? 

Since I don't know most of the beers on that list, I can only comment on the American beers, and those 4-5 are an...interesting mix. 
But, count me in for a week at this place.

Ahh, Belgium, the Netherlands, they all look the same to Pen!

You Beneluxist.

Uh, Tonk lives in the Hague not Belgium.

But no I'm going to pick up a bottle of La Chouffe.

Also, they've got a beer on tap at Owen & Engine (which is a great foodery) by Three Floyd's called Cimmerian Sabretooth Berzerker. I must have this.

[Tonker]

In all seriousness, I'm a little disappointed that this Den Haag-Chicago exchange programme is so one-sided.  Anybody (even Yetti) that wants to come to the Netherlands is very welcome.  I'll show you some proper fucking history, and, of course, a metric shed load of beer.

Now I'm intrigued by this idea.  Which airport do you think is the best to fly into?

As you may know, distances over here aren't quite the same as they are over there, so Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Düsseldorf and Cologne are all within a few hours.  Even the London airports are fine - you can just jump on a Eurostar train and be in Brussels within three hours and Amsterdam within five.  Hell, even Frankfurt or Hamburg are only four hours by train.

Now, I'm seriously intrigued by this idea.  Maybe we can send multiple Desipiots at the same time?

Perhaps it's time to broaden your horizons a bit there, Scottsdale.

Allow me to rephrase on Gil's behalf: which airport do you think is the best to fly into in full catcher's gear?

Look, I don't know where in Australia Tonk lives and I don't want to drink Fosters, okay?

Intrepid Reader SKO:
Will there be taxis?
What exactly is the local method for hailing them?
Is it necessary to bring any specific coinage?
Do I need to fear for my life if I choose to ride in one?

I'll most likely be in London at the end of June. I may just have to hop over to Brussels for a bit. Everything is so close over there, I can probably just walk or ride Huey's bike, right?

It'd admittedly be a little weird to meet a Desipiot from the Netherlands before I met any of the Chicago-based ones.

You think you're better than us?'d

You're better off.
