About a week ago, my buddy
@godfish invited me to join the Beer Challenge again – and last night I finally accepted. I cracked open a Canaille Blanche from Belgium and wow, what a solid pick!
Funny side note: I had been hunting for good beer glasses for a while, but nothing decent turned up at the local drink markets. Then, while randomly visiting Höffner to grab a new shower fitting, I stumbled across a set of 6 beer glasses. Problem solved 😄
So there I was – new glass, cold Canaille, and chilling on Discord with friends while playing RavenQuest. The beer? Honestly super refreshing. It’s got a nice, light body and a clean taste – very drinkable. With 5.2% alcohol, it goes down easy. Just one regret: I only had one bottle. I’ll definitely need to restock next time I’m in Belgium.
And now? One Christmas beer left in the fridge. But hey – beer is beer, and it’s meant to be enjoyed. More next time – cheers and shoutout to
@godfish 🍻
