Jopen Meesterstuk 2017 – Jopen Beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:30:54 +0000

Meesterstuk 2017 is, as the name implies, a masterpiece (meesterstuk). The beer is brewed at brewery Jopen in Haarlem. This beer has matured in Bowmore barrels for 365 days and therefore it has a strong special flavour of Scotch whisky.
Moreover, this beer is brewed with fresh ginger, Celtic sea salt and cocoa. Due to these unique ingredients, they created a beautiful balance between sweet and salty and soft and spicy.

Since we really love whiskey, this was absolutely an excellent beer to drink! It has quite a smokey whiskey flavour and its colour is pitch black. Furthermore, the beer has an alcoholpercentage of 12,5% and it has a very strong smell of whiskey.
Unfortunately the beer was not very foamy but this was not a big deal to us since it still tasted amazing.

We were happily surprised by the wonderful taste of the Meesterstuk 2017 and we would absolutely like to buy this one again. Therefore we rate this beer a 4,8/5

‘T Fust

For Valentine’s Day we were in search of a place to dine. We were looking for a romantic restaurant that we hadn’t visited before and after a long search we found restaurant ‘T Fust.
‘T Fust is a restaurant which is located in a historical building and it has a casual atmosphere.
We were very happy with our choice to go to this restaurant because the food was absolutely fantastic!

We started our evening with some olive bread and with a glass of white wine on the side. We also reveived a nicely prepared appetizer to start with. We decided to go for a 3-course menu and we ordered the “Parmezaan” (Parmesan) and the “Tonijn” (tuna). The tuna was very tasty and flavorful and the parmesan tasted absolutely delicious!
Secondly we ordered “Kabeljauw” (codfish) and “Rib-Eye”. The first dish had enough vegetables on the side which tasted really well together with the codfish. The codfish was delicious as well! The rib-eye had a very rich flavour and the sweet potatoes on the side were also great!
As a dessert we ordered the “Marquise” and the “Cheesecake”. These were also absolutely mouthwatering!
The service in the restaurant was very good! We received our courses pretty quick and all the employees were very friendly to us.

We had an incredible evening at this restaurant and we even received a small bottle of cava when we payed the bill. Therefore, we would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Annie’s Leiden

When we announced that we were going to post a review about Annie’s we were overwhelmed with responses. All of them were very positive.

Annie’s is a unique restaurant located in the city centre of Leiden. If you have ever visited Leiden, you will know that the city has a lot of beautiful canals. Annie’s is located on one of them and it has a wonderfull terras and cozy inside seating areas. Everyone knows Annie’s and that’s for a reason. The quality of the food, service and the unique location make Annie’s a “must visit” in Leiden! You can’t say you have visited Leiden if you haven’t been to Annie’s.

We visited the restaurant in the afternoon to grab some lunch. We started off with a nice cappuccino and a cup of mint tea. As our main course we ordered a goat cheese sandwich and carpaccio. The goat cheese sandwich was incredibly good. This course contains 2 big slices of creamy goat cheese, honey, a brown bun and some veggies. After my girlfriend finished her course, she almost ordered another one . My carpaccio was also very good. It was quite a large portion with some brown bread and parmesan cheese. It was one of the best I’ve ever had! The service was also very good. The food was served on time and the staff were all very polite to us.

If you’re looking for an amazing spot in Leiden to eat, go to Annie’s! We can be very short about that

Bricks “Hooch & Brew”

Nick Riethoven — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 18:00:13 +0000

Bricks… words can’t describe how amazing this place is. Bricks uses the Tailored Cocktails to sell you an experience of your lifetime. You tell them what flavours you like, and they make sure you get a drink like no one before. It’s all about the experience.

Everywhere you go you probably order the same drink; the same food and you are comfortable with that. At Bricks this isn’t the case, it’s not even possible. They try to broaden your horizon and make you experience a drink like you never had. Not only are the drinks fantastic, they are eco-friendly and aware of the impact we, as human beings, have on the environment. At bricks they use, and grow, their own herbs and use bamboo or metal straws in their cocktails.

This isn’t everything, the flower decoration around the bar is also used for decoration and garnish of your drink, just amazing! Eddy told us all about the philosophy of bricks and how he feels like the restaurants and bars can set the example of being eco-friendly and zero waste. Both of us felt inspired by him and his words. Now let’s talk about these art pieces they made for us. We ordered two cocktails one was based on a Mojito (with the rose, fruit and leaves) and the second one was Fresh, sweet and with a fruity flavour (with the feather). Not only did we have 2 art pieces we got a charcuterie plank with olives, almonds and ham.

After our first two cocktails we went for another two based on more tropical flavours. We got these beautiful looking cocktails, one in a moai head cup/pot and the other one in a tropical themed can with a rose and feather. All the cocktails tasted and looked amazing.
Never in our lives did we have such an amazing experience. We would recommend Bricks to everyone!
