Windy weather and the goat
Its that time of year again.
When the first visitations of bitter autumn winds and that icey Dutch rain are softened by the knowledge that its also time for the release of the herfstbok. Or as they say in these parts, "De bok is los"
For an everyday bok I don't mind Amstel. And I love their latest TV commercial for the herfstbok with its flying goat. Reminds me of many a miserable ride home from Amstelveen when the route was littered with flying goats. Or something. A Grolsch is also nice.
But when its terschelling-cold the only possibility is Hertog Jan's Bokbier. It is a bit like drinking steak so its not something you can do every day, or manage more than one of. But on the right occassion there's nothing quite like it.
