Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Last night we caught up with some lifelong friends of my wife and we went for a drink at “Hoppie”, a small tap house which interesting enough was in the past the house our friend Chiquinho grew up in. The wall reads “be yourself with pride” Hoppie’s wifi password was ”piece love and beer” and that how the energy of the place was, it had a very nice display of various bottled craft beers. And it had 16 taps with the most delicious beers from various craft breweries. Here is last night’s beer menu tasting notes to follow………… 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 My friends started and finished with the Leuven Brewery Pilsen. I had a try in the end (sorry, no photo) and therefore I won’t judge it. It looked very good so. Secondly I had a sip of Hocus Pocus Brewery’s “Orange Sunshine Blonde Ale”. Yum, a nice light refreshing Ale with a strong orange aroma and flavour. Delicious. It’s Hoppie’s bestseller and if we hop(e)fully go back I will definitely have one or two. As I also don’t have a photo of this one I’ll post a picture of Chiquinho’s 1974 Fusca (Beetle) we drove around in. more tasting notes with pics to follow 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about 10 real are 3 Aussie dollars.so a bottle of 30 real is 10 bucks for us, not really cheap. And for Brazilians it’s a luxury as their wages are far lower than ours. Still didn’t get around to try more of the bottles I bought 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My first glass was a beautiful Weisse from the Schornstein Brewery in the most German city of Brazil called Pomerode in the State of Santa Catarina. It was described as Wheat, fruity and citrus aroma with the presence of clove, banana and cereal on the palate, refreshing 5.2%. The description hit the spot and I enjoyed every milliliter of the 680 . You serve this one in a German pub you’d think it’s a local one, great drop 9.5/10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My second beer was also a Schornstein, this time it was their IPA. 6.5 %, floral, citrus and fruity aroma with the characteristic bitterness. Not the biggest IPA fan but enjoyed this one immensely. 9/10 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) My wife had the most existing beer of the night(she actually had two). Advertised on the menu as a Sour it was really a Gose, made by Morada Brewing’s Frutaria Cajú. A (not too) sour beer with the addition of cashew fruit, apple and passion fruit, light and refreshing. 4%. Even so it was very fruity it still tasted like beer, perfectly balanced, exceptional 10/10 I wish you could try this one @beach_life Edited December 31, 2022 by Brauhaus Fritz 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I missed that, but the Mexicans should make it easy for themselves when they cross our border & go to a Pub just say 'may I have 285ml of beer please or may I have 425ml of beer please,' that way they don't have to worry about what the glasses I called. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
