A dry Irish BA stout at Dok Brewing, Gent.
5th stop in Gent = Dok Brewing taproom. Always great to visit, this time I enjoyed their NOT tripel (a hoppy pale) & a fantastic dry Irish stout from Lineman which tasted way above its 6.6% ABV.

@news.rte.ie Ireland is hosting a dedicated pavilion at one of the world's most significant property conferences this week, on the French Riviera, as part of an effort to attract billions of euro in foreign investment into our housing system

"Never mind, open the glovebox."
"Alright. Hey, wha-"
"You know how to use that?"
"Frank, what-?"
"Better get used to calling me Jim."
