Hello #beer community, it's been a while since my last #beersaturday but here I am again 🍻
I have a very special beer for you today. This beer is called Nora and it's from an Italian craft brewery called Baladin.
Baladin is a young but already well known brewery based in north-east Italy and it's becoming popular for making a wide variety of peculiar beers.
Nora is one of these, a really interesting spiced beer. Baladin himself describes it as an Egyptian beer, due to its expert blend of wheats, including a typical North African variety.
It's a spiced beer because citrus peels and ginger are added during the fermentation process, along with other aromas reminiscent of Middle Eastern spices and scents such as myrrh.
This beer features a reddish amber color, a light yet persistent head that releases the full bouquet of aromas. The flavor is truly unique, with a strong cereal base later complemented by spices and the freshness of citrus and ginger. Despite the wide variety of spices, they are subtle and not overpowering, making this beer very easy and enjoyable for anyone to drink, considering its moderate alcohol content of 6.8%.
It perfectly complements a delicate pizza like this one with cherry tomatoes and rocket
Baladin is an amazing brewery, become synonymous with high quality. They also make some wonderful Christmas themed beers. Check out their website and grab one if you have the chance. It's totally worth it.
THALOS - DUST
Let's get to the music side. If we talk about traveling around the world, why not travel with your mind?
I had the chance to see this young Italian band live a couple weeks ago. They're called THALOS and play a dreamy instrumental progressive synth music that brings you to a trip around the universe. Watching them performing live is a cathartic experience. Real analogic drums mixed with some drum machines, a lot of 80s style synths and clean atmospheric guitar leading the melody.
Put your headphones on and have a good trip! Cheers 🍻
Little disclaimer: I decided to set almost all my posts to burn payout because I understand now that burning that Hive is a (little but not zero) way to help with Hive inflation. If you're not someone whom everyday economy relies on Hive, I suggest you do the same.
If you care about the survival of our beloved blockchain and you live in a place where Hive means earning just few cents, it would be a good thing to help this way. If I am wrong about this just let me know in the comments, because I still don't understand everything about how all this works. I'm just a simple user, thanks.
Cheers! My first info about Baladin brewery. Looks interesting. I'll dig deeper 🍻
I genuinely think you should accept rewards on your posts and do 100% power up instead of burn. You deserve some rewards and although this sounds weird, some people don't like voting burn posts.
I trust your opinion, mister. Let's power it all up then 💪
Boom... Yeah!!!
Take the rewards. Buy more beer. Life is short. :)
The point you made about travelling with your mind is the one I came here to make based on your title.
Depending on what compounds are in the beer, yes, yes you can. :)
Or maybe it was a really good pizza.
is that really rocket on that pizza or is it something else? 😏🍀🍄 ahah
a pizza like that makes you trip for real, I should try one day
I think with enough openness in your mind, you can go just about anywhere. That being said, I don't know how to travel based on taste alone. I'm more of a wine and whiskey person myself, I admit, but mostly associate them with places I've been to. For instance, a food Tuscan wine reminds me of Tuscany but only because I've been and enjoyed myself there. I don't know if, say, a Japanese whiskey would feel like Japan to me, had I nothing concrete to tie it to.
