Day 199: July 18, 2015
Diary entry:
While trying to figure out what to do this weekend, I saw that there was a beer and burger event taking place on Sunday in ‘s-Hertogenbosh. Unfortunately as is often the case, I found out just a little too late, and the event was already sold out.
The good news was, however, that the event is on Sunday, and I still have the whole day Saturday free, so I decided to make my own version of the event by heading up to Den Bosch to ‘t-Paultje and Bar 35 for my own Burger and Beer event.
The Beer:
Name: Wiggle West Coast IPA
Style: American IPA
Producer: Tender Brewery
Alcohol content: 5.5%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: ‘t-Paultje in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands
Wiggle West Coast IPA by Tender Brewery. A nice, citrusy bitterness. Only 5.5%, the first, and at the moment, only beer from this new Dutch brewery, contract brewed at De Molen.
Commercial Description: Wiggle is not your typical IPA. Its taste of piney hops with citrus and floral notes gives it a light-bodied and crisp feel, with a hazy amber color. Wiggle has a unique, one of a kind flavor and with only 5,5% it is incredibly drinkable.
