Specials and special new beer…

hertogjan.jpg

In august the Hoegaarden on draught is on special in our Uptown bar! For only 2 euro you get a full glass of this whitebeer served with a slice of lemon. It’s from belgium and brewed with orange peel and koriander…
Soon a new beer will be served by our lovely bartenders, this one is a premium pilsner, called Hertog Jan (or Duke John). It’ll be served in the traditional dutch “vaasje” (say Vasha), which is a little more than a half pint.
It is a goldenblond lager, with low fermentation, full flavor and pleasant bitter aftertaste. Made from local springwater, barley, corn and hop. A nice quality dutch beer and right now it’s becoming more and more popular in the netherlands…
Come try it soon, in the Flying Pig Uptown Bar!
