If you are a new follower/followed and we have never interacted before, writing me unsolicited random DMs is a surefire way of getting reported and instablocked.

Thought you should know.

Es gibt ja auch tatsächlich Menschen, die geglaubt haben, Trump bekommt ihn.

(10 Oct 25): Celebrating one of the #BeerNerd s' birthday this weekend & presenting him with the full 75cl range by #Montblanc. Founded in '99; taken over by Duvel Moortgat '24. Their specialty are fruit/herb infused beers, e.g. "La Verte" with glacier wormwood.🍺

Gute Nachrichten, denn im Moment fliegen wir noch mit vier uralten P-3C Orion, die wir gebraucht in den Niederlanden gekauft haben.

(15 Sep 25): My contribution to our monthly themed tasting. This month's motto is "WAR". I realized how many military and war-themed beers there actually are (Lancaster Bomber, Spitfire, Waterloo, Trooper, etc etc). These four are by #Kanone in Bavaria.

(5 Sep 25) Final day of the #BeerNerd #RoadTrip. We were in free roam mode today, so we returned to where we began our beer nerdery 20 years ago - the annual #BelgianBeerWeekend in #Brussels. We left there HATING it, so we decided to grace some craft beer bars 🧵👇

(4 Sep 25): Day 6 of the #BeerNerd s' #RoadTrip. We ticked off all remaining breweries on our list: #TipsyTribe (really really recommend), #BrasserieDeLaSenne, and #LaSource.

Will have a day "off" to free roam as a result tomorrow. 🍻

(2 Sep 25): Day 4 of the #BeerNerd s' #RoadTrip. A Goodbye to Rotterdam with a visit to #KaapseBrouwers and #DeGeleKanarie. Left out the #Brewdog outpost and - sadly - #Hoevebrugsche (tbh bc their opening hours are a pain in the ass). On to #Brussels tomorrow.🍺

(1 Sep 25): Day 3 of our #BeerNerd #RoadTrip. Monday is slow in the Netherlands, but we were able to score a few beers by #StJoris in #Breda as well as some at #BeersAndBarrels (no own kit, hence contract brewed). Sadly, the local craft beer shop was also closed.😥🍻

(31 Aug 25): Day 2 of the #BeerNerd 's #RoadTrip. Still #Rotterdam with #VetAndLazy, #Reijngoud (both w/ new taprooms), and #Noordt. Monday is Dutch pubs' Sunday, so we'll have to see what we can do tomorrow. 🍻

My friend (a historian) almost snapped when a German tourist loudly claimed that the "Mayflower" was a sister ship of Columbus's "Santa Maria."

Das Thema "was hat Merz erreicht?" hast DU aufgemacht. Wie gesagt: lies den OT nochmal durch.

Ansonsten ja: dass das Schlimmste verhindert wurde, IST ein Erfolg.

(19 Aug 25): For our monthly #BeerNerd tasting session, the challenge was "music". Think I'm doing okay with #SuddenDeath Drunken Swallows, a pilsner named for a German Punk band, and #HolyGoat Plum Porter. 🍺

The Sudden Death label shows a red and a black swallow and a bottle of beer. The Holy Goat can has a picture of an electric guitar and an amplifier.

Ich denke, du solltest mal einen Schritt zurücktreten, durchatmen und meinen Post nochmal lesen.

Merz schlägt sich nicht schlecht. Er hat gestern klar Pflöcke eingezogen und er kann gut mit Trump. Das Treffen an sich ist besser gelaufen als erwartet. Gut, dass die anderen auch da waren.

If #Trump has achieved ONE thing, then it's that I feel pretty good about my country's current government ... and that's not great.
