Also, I had a really light and cool beer. Called Amstel Pulse. Also, dutch.
Although I dont love light beers, this one was pretty tasty.

Eh, Amstel is drinkable. It´s mostly the same as Jupiler but without the cool raging bull label.
Also, today I visited heaven.
It´s located a whopping 1.5 hours of travel by public transport from me and it consists of 400m² (4300ft²) of beer.
They have all sorts of fancy and crazy beers like Delirium (which has a badass pink elephant as a logo) and Brewdog's
Royal Virility Performance 'Arise Prince Willy'.
A special beer brewed for the royal wedding. I'd have bought it just for the name but it cost a scary €10.70 ($14.65)
I bought a Guinness pint glass, a bottle of
St. Peter's Cream Stout, a bottle of
Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout and a bottle of
Rochefort 10.
The last two I will be enjoying with the fancy meal I'll be cooking tomorrow.
The St. Peter's I had today and it was pretty damn good, it instantly made sense to me why one pairs this type of beer with chocolate. It's kind of like guinness but sweeter, with more of a chocolaty malt flavour and especially much more flavour than your average guinness.
I did expect it to be smoother than it was but I was still sad I only bought one and it did cost me something like €3.50 ($4.80).
Very much looking forward to the Oatmeal Stout with dessert. (And the Rochefort, but I know that's amazing as I've had it before)
