Meetup in Leuven with @joythewanderer - Beer Tasting at The Capital
Last Thursday, me and Jeanine had our first Steemit meetup with @joythewanderer. We decided on going to a bar called 'The Capital', which has a selection of over 2000 beers.

When I first saw Joy, I was very surprised to hear that she spoke Dutch almost perfectly. That just made the conversation so much easier for all of us. We did end up going back and forth a bit between Dutch and English, just because it's easier when talking about Steemit related subjects.  

Joy ordered a delicious peach beer called Pecheresse, which is brewed by Lindemans. It's reasonably low in alcohol content, sitting just at 2.5% ABV. Great beer for a very hot day, since it was still around 26°C (79°F) at 8 P.M. 

I also opted to start with a lighter beer called Blanche de Namur, which is a fantastic wheat beer, produced by Brasserie Du Bocq. There's so much difference between wheat beers, this one had a really outspoken flavor and tasted very citrussy. 

Jeanine didn't immediately feel like drinking beer, so she went with a regular apple juice. She did change her mind later that evening and ordered a couple of cherry beers, Kriek by Wilderen brewery. This was a very sweet beer with 3.5% ABV. 

One other beer that I particularly like was Pokerface, brewed by Het Nest. This beer is made by a very small brewery that was started up by a group of friends. I had met these brewers before at the Zythos Beer Festival in Leuven and remembered they had some really tasty beers back then. Safe to say that I wasn't disappointed!

I would greatly recommend checking out [Joy's blog post](https://steemit.com/meetup/@joythewanderer/leuven-beer-meetup-with-daan), because there one other beer mentioned in there. I let her have a taste of a very weird beer, but I won't spoil it here... 

When I first became active on Steemit, a couple of months ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of actually meeting a fellow Steemian so soon. We've already made plans for another small little project together, so stay tuned for that!
