oc weekly beer blogging debut aka eurotrip 2k12
June 17, 2012
Before I went to Europe last month for my post-graduate beercation, I pitched a bunch of zany ideas to a lot of outlets and nothing took. But God bless Gustavo and the OC Weekly for allowing me to use some of my travel photos and personal notes to share at least a little sliver of my discoveries with its readership. And for keeping my Austin Powers reference in the headline. 
The Bruery Goes Global: Bottles Spotted In Netherlands–Ishn’t Dat Vierd?

We all know the Netherlands is the place in Europe to get great pot and decent-looking legal prostitutes, but bottles from Orange County’s own craft beer creators (and subject of last year’s cover story) The Bruery? Yup.
As this beer geek discovered on a recent vacation to the land of windmills, canals, clogs and the Cannabis Cup, the Dutch love American craft beer. They love Stone Brewing’s bitter, hoppy IPAs; they love rich, chocolate-y stouts from Ohio’s Hoppin’ Frog Brewery and they love aromatic pale ales from Anderson Valley and Port Brewing Companies.
my favourite stout/beer still remains guinness
It’s definitely a classic.
Guinness was so delicious at the brewery in Dublin! I was amazed.
Usually women don’t like it tho, im impressed lol
