My guide to Amsterdam beer. I've been here 11 months so it's still a work in progress. Beer is the primary focus so nice brown bars with generic lists aren't included. Random places with Augustiner or Keesman probably are. Hit me up if you come here!

Bus ride shift beer, back on that bock train with Sonnen Bock. Totally fine, nothing particularly stands out but it's very balanced and drinkable. I like it much more halfway through the bottle than at the beginning, when it seemed a bit middling.

Bus ride shift beer, Huppenforfer Zwickel. Easily the best of the 3 we have from Huppenforfer. Bright, spicy hops, minerally, crisp bitterness, clean bready pils malt. Good enough I'll need to revisit the Pils in case it was just me.

Bus ride shift beers, a couple of doppelbocks. First up is the relatively weak (5.6%) Tegernseer Quirinus. Actually quite full flavored, soft, sweet, and toasty with a bit of caramel, and a crisp bitterness to finish.

And now the Vollbier from Schwester Doris, which is bright and crisp and beautiful

Bus ride shift beer, Huppenforfer Vollbier. Though it has some of the same musty hay grain character as the Pils I had last night that I didn't even finish, it works better. The Pils was a bit rough

Bus ride shift beer. I need to get up early to bottle a big stout so I wasn't planning on drinking anything but this 0.9% beer will work

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Filled some bourbon and rye barrels. Crazy but I don't think I've filled a barrel in 3 years, maybe longer

Bus ride shift beer. Been awhile since I had this one. Nice roasty, hoppy character, though would be much nicer in a glass with some carb knocked out of it.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Public land grant universities with a mission to serve the residents of their respective states are the great economic equalizers. So of course Republicans and billionaires want to destroy them. 😖

Bus ride shift beer, Rochefort 10 for the 2nd night in a row. Perhaps ill advised but this now counts as research

And after 40 minutes waiting outside at 1° I finally get my bus ride shift beer. I'm not sure I've ever actually had these back to back before

The bus is cancelled so bus stop shift beer while I wait 40 minutes for the next one
