Ah, De Molen ❤️ . Went to their Borefts beerfests in Bodegraven for over a decade, but their founder has opened another brewery in Spain. I love The Netherlands. Would happily move there.

Pleasantly surprised that the mushroom beer is my most popular at Borefts this weekend. Also, what a location for a fest!

Today's crisp weather is giving me serious #Borefts withdrawal. If we all just showed up to the former De Molen brewery car park with a bunch of barley wines, they couldn't stop us, right?

Unsurprisingly, Amsterdam Craft Beer fest has been cancelled.
The end of Borefts festival meant that a big gap in the beer calendar was ready to be filled. Unfortunately poor communication, high prices, and inclarity on the lineup led to poor ticket sales for this event.

I haven't met you I don't think. But I remember seeing you at Borefts 2013-14 when I was working behind the bar at Alvinne-Struise.

Honestly, the best thing to do is to not wait until you want to get to bed but drink water inbetween whatever alcohol you're imbibing.
Never had a hangover after Borefts just thanks to this one simple trick.

One thing I do believe is: if you drink non trivial amounts of alcohol it makes a huge difference to how happy you will be the morning after whether or not you also drink lots of water before going to sleep. If you do the hangover can often be negligible, whereas if you do not it can be miserable.

I've looked at my clothes & think exactly the same 😆. I still have beer T-shirts that you have shown me in on your Borefts photos that are v.old. My jeans, I think almost every single pair has holes in the knee, they're all so old. I might treat myself to some new jeans 🤣 (but prob' cheap TKmax)
