In my Pride Kilt in Amsterdam…

The annual Amsterdam Pride Canal Parade was about to set sail, so I put on my Pride of LGBT tartan kilt, and headed to Amsterdam, to run the Amsterdam Hash House Harriers’ “Gay for a Day” trail again, and of course watch the parade!

No photos of the Canal Parade itself this time, just a couple of photo impressions of my trip and the run. And of my kilt, of course!

Brussels Breweries Tattoo Tour 2025

Hello beer lovers!

It’s almost time for my annual Brussels Breweries Tattoo Tour again! One day, seven breweries, seventy minutes in each taproom…

If you haven’t done it before: join me for one brewery, two, three, or all of them…

Just pay for your own beers—or buy some rounds—as you go, order something to eat when you get hungry, and have fun while showing some appreciation to our local breweries!

However, if you want a chance to earn the coveted Brussels Breweries Tattoo Tour patch, make sure you get your stamp card—and the first stamp—at the first stop (Cantillon) between 14:00 and 15:10!!

So here is the schedule for this Saturday, the 12th of July:

14:00-15:10 	Cantillon
-walk-
15:15-16:25 L’Ermitage
-walk-
16:50-18.00 Mazette (sharing platters, sandwiches)
-public transport-
18.40-19.50 Brasserie de la Mule (snacks, toasties)
-public transport or walk-
20.30-21.40 Brasserie de la Senne (full kitchen)
-walk-
21.50-23.00 La Source Beer Co. (pizza)
-public transport-

Three of the people who joined me visited all seven breweries, and earned the patch! Will you give it a try next year?

And here’s a video impression of the day:
