Happy Queen's Day!

It's Queen's Day in The Netherlands and the whole country is celebrating with orange clothes on. A wonderful display of affection to their Queen and their country. It's a must see!

Queen's night the night before is full of fun, loud and sometimes crazy parties everywhere on the streets and on the canals. It's like a carnival. On the day, the streets get flooded by garage sale and of course more partying goes on... :)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

information on each beer and provide scoring sheets for your guests. I like a small board next to the tasting station with a matrix covering everyone's name and each beer. This way, I don't need to worry about printing anything and all of my guests can see how each other scored. It makes conversation topic as you taste.

You can serve mild cheeses, fruits and crackers as light snacks. If you'd like to serve more food, there is a great guide at thatsthespirit.com on Beer and Food.

Don't forget to wear something green or accessorize in green this St. Patrick's Day. Cheers!

Get some Irish Luck this Saint Patrick's Day with a beer or two shared with close friends! Beer tasting parties are fun to set up effortlesslyand they are a great alternative to wine tasting parties.

So how does one set up a beer tasting party? The keyword here is "relaxed atmosphere"! Bring together a small group of friends (4-10 is a good number) and have a good beer selection available.

The main difference between wine tasting and beer tasting is that you need to drink a few sips of each beer. One tastes the beer at the back of the throat which is impossible to reach without actually swallowing it. You also need to check the color, clarity and aroma of the beer to best judge it.

The beers to be tastes should be sorted from the lightest to the heaviest. You can print out some

Make your celebration a stylish one with great beer selection and right glasses to serve them!
