Utrecht w/b 21st April 2008
OK, I'm in the Netherlands for a full working week, which means any day from Monday to Thursday. I know that Rubby is close by; that the Rootses are on holiday in Belgium; and that Stevie Cage is hiding; no idea were 10Anos is hiding.
Anybody up for a tasting?

I'm "hiding" in the Southern parts of the NL. Unfortunately, I have to pass. For me a full working week means Monday-Friday. The trip to Utrecht would simply take too long to leave any useful time before having to return home again.

You can fly from London (Stansted) to Eindhoven for next to nothing with Easyjet. Eindhoven - Utrecht is 1 hour by train.
KillerB: if you fancy a beer during one of your lonely nights in Utrecht, I can provide you with the e-mail addresses of Leontien and Jeroen (you met them at our wedding). I'm sure they'll love to take you for a beer and a game of darts or pool.

That would be nice. Being the sort of person that I am I can always remember women and never men, so Leontien I can remember straightaway. I'm sure that I would remember Jeroen if I saw him - was he the one that looked like you from behind?RonnieRoots wrote:You can fly from London (Stansted) to Eindhoven for next to nothing with Easyjet.

You are in Belgium right now??? Where? Do tell! I have some wine you need to drink. I think. Probably. Reesling or something like that, and some Sugarrebe.

I'm up for a tasting, although I haven't got the slightest idea how these things are organised -yet-.
Have you ever been to Utrecht before?
If you're into beer, you might like a visit to Cafe Belgium, which has about 40 different beers from cask and about 200 beers on bottle. Mostly Belgian (hence the name), but also a lot of other nationalities. We could have a beer tasting!
Please let me know.

Hi Rubby - yes, been to Utrecht a couple of times; last time for the nuptials of Lord and Lady Roots. A beer tasting sounds like a fantastic idea but I must warn you that I like to taste all the beers in a place.Rubby wrote:Hi KillerB,KillerB wrote:OK, I'm in the Netherlands for a full working week, which means any day from Monday to Thursday.

Getting together is normally quite strightforward - find a place to sit down and drink; bring bottles; drink. The main problem is the first step, the rest is easy.

That might cause some problems. 200 different beers? Let's see how far we get.KillerB wrote:A beer tasting sounds like a fantastic idea but I must warn you that I like to taste all the beers in a place.
I'm afraid my place isn't an option. Maybe the Rootses have a tip on a restaurant?KillerB wrote:Getting together is normally quite strightforward - find a place to sit down and drink; bring bottles; drink. The main problem is the first step, the rest is easy.

Ah, Kafé België! I love to go there as well.
Restaurants in Utrecht (or the Netherlands in general) are not really used to the concept of BYO, but I found that if you explain what your plans are, what the occasion is, and if you let the staff have a taste of the goodies, they are mostly willing to accomodate you. Do make the arrangements in advance though. Ordering an additional bottle of the wine list also helps to smoothen things.
Have fun!

Hey, it's the 21st so I must be in Utrecht. Actually, I'm in de Meern and my hotel is in Amsterdam due to Utrecht being full. However, I have two bottles of wine (no Port but I can find shops). I have a special invitation on Wednesday but all other days are currently free.
