October 2019 update: quit. Thanks everyone for the good times. My favorite styles are IPA, DIPA and Imperial Stout. I started tasting and rating on a very basic level at the end of 2008, got more serious since the summer of 2010 and became quite a ticker for a couple of years, before slowing down at the end of 2017. With my second kid born in January 2018 it was time to really retire from the ticking scene. -- Still, I'm always in for a trade or having a beer together. Send me a BM if you're ever close to Oirschot or Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Cheers!
