I'm happy today. My beer 'Smokey the Barracuda' from Brouwerij de Kromme Haring (<-that's me) just won the top (and only) prize at the 2015 Utrechtse Bierbrouwers Festival here in the Netherlands last saturday, or as they call the prize: 'Most appreciated beer in Utrecht Province, 2015'. The panel of beer judges and brewers chose it winner out of the 19 breweries registered in this province, who were (mostly) serving really excellent and interesting craft beers at this jam-packed little festival. Smokey is an imperial smoked porter (8.4% abv), it was developed as a homebrew recipe, commissioned by the beer bar Kafe Belgie where it is their house beer, brewed locally at Brouwerij Maximus. If anyone passes through Utrecht any time soon please stop by and try it, the second batch will go on tap shortly. It's a medal winner!
We also served a sacc-trois C-hop double IPA collab with brewery Ruig (9.0%) called Ruige Haring, and a kettle-sour 100% brett brux raspberry something (5.0%) called Lactic Fantastic. It all sold out pretty quickly. I drank a lot and talked a lot of nonsense. My father made those killer wood/enamel tap handles.
This concludes my very satisfied 2000th post on HBT! Thanks for reading.
