Peanuts & Pints

I had a pint of Young's Double Chocolate Stout at trivia last night, which got me all excited about having it closer to the source when I get to London! We can't tour the Ram Brewery because it was booked up over three months in advance, but I'll be damned if I don't have an imperial pint of the good stuff whilst I'm there! (And kudos to my local pub for serving it in imperial pints, authentic stamps to boot!)

Rob and I do plan to tour a local brewery in Amsterdam, but I'll wait until we're there to tell you about it. As long as we're not going to the damn Heineken Experience, I'm happy... Why would I want to pay to tour a defunct brewery of a beer I don't particularly like? Plus, this one is free and doesn't require reservations (or that you make them three monhts in advance...ahem...) - extra points to Brouwerij 't IJ!

And though it doesn't fall under the 'pint' category, I hope that Rob, Lady, and I will sample as many of the wines of Hungary as possible... we may be staggering all over the streets of Budapest during the days and nights we're there, but it'll be worth it! (And perhaps Magyar will come more easily once we're intoxicated???)
