The Mad Brewer Explores the Low Countries
Heathrow Becons

October 29, 1998

Dateline Heathrow, Managed to "exchange" a few dollars at some outrageous rate:

$100 = 160 Guilders
$100 = 3100 BFr

But hey, got to have dough to blow.

Very thirsty now, stopped at the Tap & Spile in terminal 1.  Smoke is everywhere.

Tap & Spile Bitter: 1.90, 4.3%
Damn nice beer, hits the spot so good, MBW had to have one too!

Flowers Strong Ale: 2.10, 5.2%
Very earthy, slightly warm.  Apple finish.

Green King IPA: 1.95, 3.6%
Clean and smooth, interesting aroma, sort of hops?  [Sometimes West Coast people have a hard time with subtlty in hops]  Good stuff, for biological time 6 AM.

Long Live the King
