@geofflath Don't know if it helps, but just saw the two tweets at much the same time and as there are so many apps, developed by volunteers at that:-

@PeteBrownBeer Beer is always intertwined with peoples lives, individual, as well as history and culture. Written well you can almost live in it, and taste it too.

@eoghanwalsh Spezial Ungespundetes first; then the Weiherer Keller I'd say.

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@YuriHegge I'd have sworn they have swan necks! But then I'll have had a pour like that before then.
Still can come along for another ;)

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@YuriHegge Don't think I seen that before. I shall have to come and try one :)

Now here's a challenge for a Train Dining Car.

[Good Beer Hunting @goodbeerhunting]

Today's brewers have hundreds of yeast strains at their disposal, some stay loyal to their own house strains. In his new Critical Drinking piece, @ItsNeilWalker looks at some of the U.K.’s most celebrated house yeasts, and the breweries they’ve shaped. https://t.co/dZMrLOov3D

@MelissaCole You can hardly sell the shares anyway, so it's not even really a pay increase.

In the current climate who knows what they'd actually be worth if you could just sell them.

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@whatjoewrote @eoghanwalsh Both of which aren't super easy by train. Then factor in the cost of the compulsory cabin, and that they don't much like foot passengers really. HS2 isn't going to go past Brum, so even if they drag the E* north it's slow. It all makes that overpriced night train more attractive.

@maddogwoof @europebarguide Frankfurt made me a temporary cider drinker. Some wonderful Apfelwein places.
Beer - well I'll also be interested to see what you find!

[Johannes van den Akker @akkertje]

We krabbelen met @Kleiburg langzaamaan weer op uit de corona-periode en vervolgens ligt er een nieuw wetsvoorstel voor de herziening van alcoholaccijnzen en die pakt rampzalig uit voor kleine brouwerijen.

En het bizarre >>

@geofflath "... *might* fall under the contaminant regulation in the future."

Sounds like it's all a bit vague still, so probably not enforced?

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@geofflath My local tea and coffee chain doesn't seem to think so https://t.co/Nv6WjESHFu

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@robsterowski @fhteeth Ah! But thanks to Butcher's Tears, De Druif, De Koningshut, and In De Wildeman, Anstich isn't such an unusual word for the Amsterdam Engish (and Dutch) speaking seasoned beer drinker.

Regarding the script I'm not the one to ask, it always looks fine to me.

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@hopculturerefe1 @FatalGlass @indewildeman Brecht is a nice one. They're also bringing some of those beers (& Brezels) into NL themselves afaik.

Love the relaxed Berlin bar style. Though transfer to Amsterdam sized floor space is a little too packed for my liking. (Not been in since covid-era - terrace has expanded tho')

[Jo @johnpotuss]

@FatalGlass @hopculturerefe1 @indewildeman De Druif (Rapenburg) usually has an eclectic range of lesser known bottles from Bamberg behind the bar.
Also has an 'anstich' barrel or three on gravity on the bar every third Sunday of the month.

@teninchwheels Sensible train company. Sadly the NS is doing the opposite and trying to restrict bikes even further. Requiring booking, but not guaranteeing the space, which is super limited anyway https://t.co/pn13UTvHHC

So in this case
@Arriva_NL ++
@NS_online --

Industrial units or other 'reclaimed' areas frequently have a more relaxed social atmosphere from their more self-organised nature.

They can feel more like a proper local with the associated camaraderie than your modern identikit regulated pub or bar.
