Visited the Gothiques exhibition @louvrelens.bsky.social. Plenty of works from the original gothic period but also right up to date with modern works inspired by them, including goth culture and comic books

I never, ever buy those sickly sweet imperial pastry stouts. But this is a Blueberry Cheesecake Imperial 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳, so, that's OK? Tbf it's very nice and hides its 12% abv quite well. Emperor's are in deepest darkest Leicestershire, but my can was brewed by Dugges in 🇸🇪

Saw this image in a couple of sites on a story on measles in Canada, and i eventually found out the 2nd language is Low German, which apparently is strong enough in southern Alberta to warrant bilingual signage

posting this as much for the imagery on the label as much as anything else, since I'm a sucker for octopus and sailng ships. The #wine is good too

Boeschepe Bier brewed by van Eecke (one of the Leroy breweries: think Poperinges Hommelbier or Kapittel) which fits rather well in front of my Flemish panorama from the mont de Kemmel. Boeschepe village is unmarked but just on the other side of le mont Noir as seen from here

A 1st time try of Brasserie du Gorguechon's 7.5% stout, and it's really rather good. A bonus 𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘳é𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘥 is chicory, which balances the coffee notes really well. Paired with my go-to stout glass from Fuller's with its Thames map, in white

Now drinking:
Kelsen Brewing Company's Vinátta (from a norse word for friendship) a Russian Imperial Stout, and a pretty damn fine one at that.

Reaching speeds of up to 17, this little known underground transporter has proved mighty convenient, on occasion
