Beersaturday | I'm starting the weekend early

The end conclusion after this whole week after recuperating from Hivefest? I'm old dude, and nearly not up to my game anymore as I used to be. Surely I had a good week full of inspiration. Heck, I felt more energized than I have been in a while honestly. New people, new sights on life, new stuff to learn.

I really found Hivefest refreshing in terms of there were a lot of people not stuck in their own drag, but they were willing to move forward, think outside the box and haven an open view to all options that are coming along.

But....

There is always a but right? While starting on going on back to school, and working two different jobs from where one is new to me and having to do my studying and keep a normal household running where hubby also is in a new job and I was gone ofcourse the whole weekend. People here in the house are just tired, that is the whole gist.

So while being away last weekend and having a blast it also means that somewhere on that perspective we need a moment to chill in. I talked to a student of mine today, and she said something like 'needing chill time? I'll take an hour and that will be fine'

That doesn't work for this granny anymore.

So by Thursday now, it is time to start the weekend and screw everything. Taking this 'Zatte Triple' from Brouwerij t IJ, and yes @rivalzzz, this is the same brewery where the beers from the closing dinner from last Sunday were from, and deciding to shut myself down for a bit and at least leave out the socials for a second. The thing about triples? After just one you will be knocked out, even though it is just 8%.





I'm not sure if you saw the windmill from the Brouwerij t IJ brewery last weekend somewhere during Hivefest in someones pictures dropping by, but this place was really close to the Friday venue and you just might have seen it

What I am meaning to say is that we are getting old (or at least I am), and I am really need to think about building in some chill time here and there to get the normal stuff done.

I don't think having a super strong beer and chilling outside in the last rays of light in the starting Indian summer is the way to go, but hey...it works for me.

So the beer I was having was the 'Zatte' and according to the brewery itself a triple is 'a heavier blond' beer and this specific beer is a 'firm light blond beer with a hint of fruit and grain'. I'm agreeing on the flavour, but light blond is as well as in taste and heaviness not entirely true.

But hey...I don't know about you guys, but I am starting my weekend early to fully recover! Hivefest did this to us!
