Emelisse is a brewery from Zeeland (The Netherlands) and they offer a wide range of specialty beers. It is a very special brewery since they offer unique flavour combinations and a characteristic taste experience. Therefore, we are super happy that we received a beer box from this brewery.
Brasserie de Poort is a hidden gem located at the Zijlpoort, one of the last two remaining city gates of Leiden. Their menu is based on their motto: “It is all about you. We love to share.”
The first beer that we tried was the De Dochter van de Korenaar Embrasse. This is an intens heavy dark beer with an alcoholpercentage of 9%. The beer contains tones of coffee, chocolate and subtropical fruits.
We went to the Hague fully equipped and shot some beautiful pictures. During our first takeaway session, we had some unique and special food from this international orientated restaurant.
Recently, we received a beautiful beer box of brewery Elfique. We first drank the Elfique Tripel Brune which is a brown tripel with a complex taste. The beer was not very bitter and we certainly tasted tones of liquorice and prunes.
When we were on our way home from our citytrip to Den Bosch, we decided to make a stop in Vleuten at D’Amici.
D’Amici is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria and they cook according to Italian traditions and hospitality.
L’ Ensemble di Montalcino is a beautiful barley wine aged beer in Brunello di Montalcino barrels. This beer is brewed by the brewery De Dochter van de Korenaar which is situated in Belgium.
During the The Hague Cocktailweek 2020, we visited restaurant Basaal for the Summer Dreamin’ Cocktail Supper, a 6-course dinner with matching cocktails.
When the restaurants where still open (it already seems like such a long time since we are in a semi-lockdown again) we visited M’EAT Bar & Grill & Tappunt.
One of them was from the Brew Society and is called the Martha Brown Eyes (12%). It is a strong dark beer in quadrupple style with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
During our citytrip in The Hague (or Den Haag in Dutch), we visited Italian restaurant Fratelli on our last evening. Restaurant Fratelli offers a rich variety of regional dishes from all over Italy. Therefore, the restaurant not only serves pizzas and pasta but also meat and fish dishes.
Is That Spelt Ryeght is already our last barrel aged beer from our beer box from brewery Jopen. This Porter has matured for more than 400 days in Scottish Glenburgie & Auchroisk whiskey barrels and it has an alcoholpercentage of 11%. Moreover, it is brewed with English hops which are 50% spelt- and 50% rye malt.
Recently, we visited this beautiful restaurant which is located in a monumental building at a canal in Leiden.
This restaurant is specialised in vegetarian and vegan food and it mainly uses pure and seasonal products that are organic, healthy, responsible and very tasty!
Two weeks ago, we reviewed the Ben Nevis BA called ‘Winterslaapje’. This time we wrote a beer review about the other new beer from Brouwerij Voorschoten, the Quadrupel.
This café is one of the oldest cafés in the Netherlands and iconic for Maastricht.
The café is situated at the famous Vrijthof and they have a beautiful terrace overlooking this square.
