No undies, weed, awesome beer oh and coffee, in Amsterdam

I have always been fortunate with my baggage when traveling until recently in Amsterdam, a very short connection between Helsinki and Amsterdam and my bags disappeared behind the walls at the airport and suddenly I was one of those people you see standing at the empty bag belt hopelessly hoping that for some unknown reason my bags might come out 30 minutes after the last person took their bag. Reluctantly after sufficient time had lapsed I went about finding the counter where a person behind a desk can help me find my bags. 2 days later after wearing the same pair of undies (for 2 days!?) and still no bags I relented to buying myself a new pair of undies, socks a toothbrush and toothpaste. 




Did Anne Frank have to wear the same pair of undies for 2 days?


I thought it was easy to get weed in Nimbin! all the people in Nimbin should just move here!



The reason I was actually in Amsterdam was for a different drug, coffee, Menno Simons from Trabocca and Bocca coffee put on a cupping for us, he has been helping me find coffees to use in the upcoming World Barista Championship. At Belaroma we are also working on a new Scottie blend that will be available for wholesale and these cupping sessions have been helpful for that too. The blue shelf in the background is hundreds of samples of green beans.



Screaming Beans, a great little coffee shop in Amsterdam with a 3 group Mirage Lever (jealous).

If you are into your beer this crate will get you very excited, yes the caps are off and not I did not drink one, but the bar behind me sells Westy 6, 8 and 12 but they only had the 8 the night I went. I am standing in front of a shop called The Cracked Kettle This website http://www.sintsixtus.be/ will fill you in on what this beer is.
