Day 162: June 11, 2015
Diary entry:
Each day closer to vacation seems to get busier and busier.
Everyone seems to realize that I’ll be out for the next three weeks now, so quite a number of last-minute questions before I go. A few routine meetings as well, and suddenly a number of urgent topics coming up for which follow-up meetings will be required. Guess they’ll either have to handle them without me, or wait for me to return.
The Beer:
Name: Heymisse
Style: Belgian Dark Ale
Producer: De Verhuisbrouwerij
Alcohol content: 9.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent, Belgium.
Great dark coffee and sour flavors. But once again, this beer was a gusher. Open over the sink if you find one of these! It’s becoming a bit of a sad story, when one of my favorite styles of beers is a gusher every time I open one.
Commercial Description:
De Verhuisbrouwerij a mobile brewery of a few beer enthusiasts who are taking their brewery-on-wheels to give beer brewing demonstrations around the country
Heymisse contains Brazilian guarana beans that provide a touch of caffeine (only 10% of an average cup of coffee.)
Store in a dark place and serve between 6 and 12 C. Carefully pour the yeast and bottom to taste separately.
A unique concoction of only a few hundred liters brewed by De Verhuisbrouwerij in the kettles of ‘t Hofbrouwerijke in Beersel, Belgium.
