This is a view of our little holiday villa in Fontane Bianche, just ten miles south of Siracuse on Sicily. The garden is so beautiful now, with bougainville, hibiscus and oleander all in flower show. Wish I could always be here (and have better internet!) Vriendelijke groet, Bier&Co Amsterdam Rick Kempen +316 5534 3450 @bierenco

These are the moments where you hate yourself for - Having a tasting session night with @brewdogjames in @cafebeertemple where five beers will be on tap, and some others on bottle - Having to go to London tomorrow for two days of American Craft beer jou at The White Horse - not being able to return before Sunday to taste these beauties! But what a home-coming it will be....

I don't mind being a punk. Kinda like that word. Too lazy to be a real punk though and I hate the obligatory strenge hair-do, non-descript dog and I care about my body and its odour. Punk IPA allows me to be a punk and enjoy a good brew. Thanks @brewdogjames!

Trying my first Brewdog Trashy Blonde. Smells great, looks even better. ABV is 4,1 and it promises to be full of flavour!

Supposedly great triple mix of De Molen Hell&Damnation, De Struise Black Albert and Anchor Distilling Old Portrero Single Malt Whisky. Supposedly because I have not tried it yet. But can you expect this to be not good? I bought myself a six pack... Bier&Co Amsterdam Rick Kempen +316 5534 3450 @bierenco

Guus Royen en Menno Olivier, De Schans meets De Molen. Ze praten over bier, donker bier, en hoe een stout of porter moet zijn. Ze zijn het wel en niet eens maar voor een leek als ik een belevenis om naar te luisteren. Bier&Co Amsterdam Rick Kempen +316 5534 3450 @bierenco

De proeverij annex presentatie van Stout en Porter bij In de Wilden ( ter gelegenheid van 25 jaar De Bierkoning) is los. Guus brouwt onder anderen Van Vollenhoven Stout maar ook eigen impressies hiervan. We zijn benieuwd! Bier&Co Amsterdam Rick Kempen +316 5534 3450 @bierenco
