So many happy days spent at #Borefts.
Last #Borefts I went to in 2022, there were a bunch of Dutch guys who were sharing a bottle. Why?
Oh *that's* why they were at #Borefts.
The De Molen windmill and beer garden.

Back in Den Haag and it seems appropriate that, in Rootz bar, we end our last ever #borefts evening on an Alvinne beer (they have run out of De Molen for now!)
One evening for #Borefts nostalgia threads. Just one.
Our last ever #Borefts photos π’. Itβs been a fabulous annual event for me since 2008 and I will really miss it. Feeling quite emotional right now.
A glass of imperial stout in the beer garden of De Molen, with the windmill in the background.
In 2011 the missus and I, and our late friend Derek, came to a beer festival at a Dutch windmill. The event has changed a lot, but it's been a fixture in my life ever since. And now it's goodbye to #Borefts and De Molen. One last Hel & Verdoemenis to see me out.
In 2009, a small brewery in a small Dutch town hosted a small beer festival (maybe 100-200 people).

Ready for the off at #Borefts day 2.
#Borefts voorbij. Hoewel nog een dag te gaan...
Maar laat anderen maar de laatste vaten legen.
Ik was er vanaf 't begin bij. Soms (2x) een editie gemist.
Maar tering, wat heeft Menno (als daarvoor m'n voormalige werkgever Kaspar) veel gedaan voor de NL-bierwereld.
Ik kan alleen maar heimwee krijgen.
I promised myself that I wouldn't suffer FOMO by missing the final #DeMolen #Borefts beerfest, but I'm now crying quietly in the corner.
Two glasses of beer, various snacks, and festival programmes, spread across a table.
The #borefts field of play.
The Kees menu at Borefts, offering everything at one token because it's the last festival.
Poignant π₯ #borefts
After a crappy start to the morning, itβs joyous to be back at #borefts, tainted of course with sadness as itβs the last one π’.
Peri and Oberon are a bit bemused by the blue beer π€£
No #MSIntune today. But 2 days of beer festival #Borefts.
See you all on Sunday at @wpninjasummit.bsky.social !
#MVP
10 minutes to go! #Borefts
Goedemorgen! #Borefts here I come!
Good morning everyone if your at #Borefts #Borefts25 come help colour in my t-shirt
The bar at Haagsche Broeder.
The taps at Haagsche Broeder: a tripel, a saison, a kveik ale and a blonde.
Nice pre-#Borefts side quest to Haagsche Broeder, who have a lovely taproom in downtown The Hague.
never mind Nicks countdown this time tomorrow I will be at the airport for my Pilgrimage to the last #Borefts
The final #DeMolen #Borefts beerfest later this week. Sadly, I can't make it, but I've had some great times in The Netherlands over the years with friends. @gardengrump.bsky.social
for those interested the #Borefts beer list is up on untappd
The vintage De Molen beer list at Borefts Beer Festival 2024.
I'm a firm believer that one should never invest emotionally in a commercial entity, but hearing that Brouwerij De Molen will close forever this year is a gut punch. No more #Borefts, no more Hel & Verdoemenis, no more Bommen & Granaten. Verdoemenis upon you, Swinckels.
