New Favorite Brewery...

At the end of October, Jimmy and I went to Delft to visit a large thrift shop in search of party music for some upcoming hash parties that he’s going to DJ. Along our walk on the outskirt of the city, we came across the Powder Magazine built in 1660, which included this gatehouse...

…a guardhouse and weigh-house...

…and the powder magazine itself, which was a tower surrounded by water. Today the complex is used for the Scouts.

More exciting was that we came across The Copper Cat, an excellent microbrewery founded in 2011. 

Due to some unexpected rain, we spent a few hours hanging out with the two bartenders eating cheese and fries and trying several of their beers. One was made with algae! Our favorite was Rum Forrest Rum, infused with a Spanish rum distilled just for the brewery. 

Girl with a Pearl Earring was painted in Delft, so a fitting mascot.
