A locally brewed IPA and a Juttertje (Dutch herbal bitters, a bit like Jägermeister but much better)
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know IPA was a beer and thought you were drinking isopropyl alcohol at first
Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Beer is for pussies. Nothing beats the after taste of pure blue spirits. /jk
IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. It was brewed with and excessive amount of hops, so the beer would survive the long trip to India without getting a bad taste (so the taste would turn good after the long trip in different climates). It turned out, some idiots (like me) like the weird taste of the pre-travel beer to India. Bitter sweet. Weissen was invented because a monk forgot a keg outside the monastery during winter which partially frozen, but tasted surprisingly good. Champagne was invented because a farmer wanted to speed up the process and tried the wine during the fermenting process instead of waiting and discovered it had bubbles.
