Hello, beer lovers! ๐ป
Today will not be a classic beer tasting like you expect from me on #beersaturday, but it will be a little different.
Dune: Sand Planet Part 2 was released in the cinemas and I had to take my son (because there is no cinema here) to the Cineplex in Koper where this film was playing.
I didn't go to the cinema because I don't think this remake is that good (I swear by David Lynch's Dune), and, even though it was raining, I wandered around Koper looking for what? You'll never guess, haha, a place with good beer.
And I found it. In the old part of town, there is one small pub with a pretty good selection of craft beers. I had two hours and tried two beers there.
Amager Pink Farts & Unicorns IPL
Brewed by Amager Bryghus, Kastrup, Denmark.
can, o.44 l, alcohol 4.6%, IBU 14.
It's an India Pale Lager style (IPL), a hoppy lager with pilsner malt and modern American hops.
What do the Master Brewers say?
For centuries scientists have discussed the odd but in many ways relevant question: do the farts of unicorns smell? And if so, what do they smell of? Many scholars have claimed that the unicorn, is only a fable and not a real animal, but the whole crew here at Amager Bryghus are a bunch of old time romantics and true believers. Well, weโre not gonna tell you exactly how we did it, but with the dry-hopping in Pink Farts & Unicorns we have recreated that exact aroma of a unicorn fart. Think delicious tropicana, think moist citrus, thinkโฆ the smell of your most luscious dreams. And if you close your eyes too, you can even see the color. Itโs true, itโs pink. This beer is for all ladies and dudes who choose to believe that fairytales actually exist. Just sniffโฆ
Haha, that made me laugh, I hope it's a good one.
The beer is cloudy yellow, there is a little head and it smells of hops (unicorn fart?). The sip went down the throat smoothly, with hop bitterness and citrus on the palate.
The tropical aromas disappear in the aftertaste, medium bitterness remains for a while.
Refreshing and drinkable. Hoppy lager, I've tried a few, and this was good too. But if it's the smell of unicorn farts I wouldn't debate :)
This pub is called the Ghetto and I liked it quite a lot. They have ten beers on tap and about twenty different cans. Pretty good for Koper, we don't have anything like that here.
Reservoir Dogs Hazy Sister NEIPA
Brewed by Reservoir Dogs, Nova Gorica, Slovenia.
Draft, 0.33 l, alcohol 6.0%, IBU N/A.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Guess what! Hazy Sister is a juicy, fruity, extremely fragrant NEIPA with a mild haze. Extremely drinkable!
I don't have any special pictures because it's a draft, but what they wrote is all true!
The beer is a cloudy orange color, there is little head and it smells very much of hops and tropical fruits. It went down the throat smoothly and in the mouth there was an explosion of different flavours. First the bitterness of hops, citrus, mango, and pineapple, even the sweetness of caramel in the background. In the aftertaste, everything slowly disappears except the hop bitterness.
A very juicy, fruity, and tasty beer! I don't think I've ever tried a better NEIPA beer and one is bound to go in my fridge because it's available directly from the online shop.
Well, then it was time to walk back to the Cineplex, pick up the youngsters, and drive back home.
And what was I listening to in the car on the way back? Something from my last #newtunes post. Idles new album Tangk.

Hail the original Lynch's Dune and kudos to the book(s) :)
Now that's the place I like, with something we call rotating taps. Anytime you come, you get some nice craft beer. In a way, that's even better than the microbrewery itselfs, as it serves exclusively own brews. On the other hand, you can taste them with the very same people that actually brewed them ;)
Cheers!
Yes, the story is epic, I read all the books (I bought them all), too.
This Ghosts pub is a nice pub in downtown of Koper, small, exclusively for beers (They only have coffee, no spirits, no juices) and always ready for conversation about beers. ๐๐ป !BEER
Noted - just in case I ever get around ;)
Just in case ๐
I guess there's something wrong with Ecency following your upvotes - those for the comments are definitely quite undeserved. Not that I would mind getting them, of course ;)
Yes it is... but I think they're doing something... the last few hours everything is back to normal, anyway you can burn the reward... or send back to Ecency... I vote for you personally with 59%, Ecency following me when I vote with 3% ... the new boost system is in preparation ... but thanks for mention.
I mean I am all right with that - feel free to keep upvoting me :P
It just doesn't feel right :)) or deserved, if you will :)

It must taste very good
Both were good but I liked the second one better. :)
What a wonderful bar to go and drink a few beers
It is. The weather was crappy, but the beers were great :)
One lovely thing one can do for kids is taking them out. Making them feel loved and creating a memorable childhood experience.
This beer will definitely taste good
Yes, I take them to see a movie in a big cinema from time to time.
The beers in that pub are really good.
When you take a particular brand of beer for the first time, and it goes down well, you'll definitely want some more.
You're right, but because I was driving I couldn't afford it anymore. if I had been on foot I don't know how or where it would have ended :)
This will definitely taste great and will be worth to have a taste of it also
If you have a chance buy that beers online :)
I actually feel like having a taste right now
The place looks bomb! Amazing
Place is small and nice :)
