Outstanding sunny/partly misty canal scenes this morning. This was near Moerkerke on the Leopoldkanaal, about 11km outside Brugge.

The sun above a canal lined by trees on both sides. The sun is reflected in the water and surrounded by clearing mist.

First tasting of Stille Nacht 2026 batch 1 - now arrived at 't Brugs Beertje, a bit earlier than usual. Much drier than recent vintages & showing immense promise despite its relative youth 🍻 🇧🇪

Finally got round to getting my tick in Den Heirweg, Zedelgem. Took scenic route, 20km via woods/countryside, all v.peaceful, to what is officially a wielercafe (cycling pub), complete with its own cycle club. St Bernardus Tripel = a great start; freebie = Tongerlo Blond. Happy weekend all! 🍻 🇧🇪

Absolutely huge amount of plums of this one tree in the garden, picked this amount also took a further 4kgs to a neighbour and there are still many more on the tree but the birds and insects can enjoy them as they're harder to reach and we have more than enough.

Here's a job ad from 1841, in which the citizens of Pilsen with the right to brew announced that they were currently building a brewery, to be finished in autumn 1842, and that they were looking for a brewer to fill the position of managing director or brewmaster by end of May 1842. #beerhistory

An ad, translated to English it says:

For brewers

The brewing-entitled citizens of Pilsen in Bohemia are constructing a brewery for lager, which is due to be completed and brought into operation in the autumn of 1842. The brewery is situated on the river, equipped with all necessary premises, accommodation and an excellent rock cellar, and will have a sufficient stock of malt; the brew is calculated at 64 Austrian buckets and the annual production at approximately 8,000 to 10,000 buckets. To manage this business, an experienced brewer, fully qualified in his field and able to provide evidence of this through references and a suitable security deposit, is sought as manager or brewmaster; he is assured of a reasonable salary, in addition to free accommodation, the use of spent grain and waste products, a licence to serve beer to be obtained, and similar benefits.

Those wishing to apply should do so in writing, or preferably in person for the sake of better communication, by the end of May 1842 at the latest, to the committee of the brewing-entitled citizens of Pilsen in Bohemia.
