For us, the
beer tasting started long before the night itself. Laurens and I met up early
to deliver the godless amount of beer to all of your places. Driving for hours
on end, without any plan whatsoever and taking 3 times longer than we should
have. On the plus side, we got to see all your happy faces and have a quick
chat, which was combined with the fun evening totally worth it.
On the
evening itself, everyone slowly moved towards discord for the lovely
presentation by yours truly. As expected, we started a solid 15 minutes late
and with the necessary mic trouble which we all know too well. As the general
information passed and the first beer was introduced by Robin, we all got to
taste that lovely gold elixir. All of us frightened, knowing this beer would be
the lightest alcohol percentage of the night and it already was bloody strong…
The evening
progressed with all the chit chat required to finish a drink, and as the first
messages started coming in about when we would finally move it along, we did.
Moving on with the second presentation, by our lovely Elise, we were introduced
to, you guessed it, the second beer. This being fuller of flavor and also of
alcohol, we all enjoyed a bit too much.
We moved on
to the next drinking break, containing the all famous fridge tour. This time by
our lovely Alicja, who had the pleasure of having to chug a glass of
tofu-water. Yes, you read that right. We had a few minutes after to finish our
drinks, but since Alicja really needed one after her specialty drink we quickly
moved on to beer number 3.
Presented
to everyone present by Laurens, we moved into the first beer with double digits.
The opinions differed, but Johannes’s beer glass was done printing so all was
good. Everyone enjoyed some good ‘ol chatting as we slowly moved on to beer
number 4.
Beer number
4, the Wohan, was strong enough that you don’t want it after 3 strong beers. It
was pretty damn delicious though. After presenting it, and of course drinking
it, most stayed for a chat as the evening slowly ended. It was a pretty nice
evening, I’m definetly up for another. Lighter beer though.
