The central theme of the last two weeks has been breweries, which is funny considering that I don't drink, and honestly didn't know anything about, nor had a particular interest in, the beer brewing process.

But then I was assigned a talk about the Weteringscircuit and what is now the Heineken experience in the time of its founder, which I did last Friday. Yes, my wig has since dried up. 😁

And today I not only finally got to meet @vijfkoffiegraag after being internet-acquainted since "we don't know how long, but years", but I also got to take these pictures of the inside of the @brouwerijpoesiatenkater
brewery at about 10 minutes from here.

This building has a long history: first built as an ammonia production plant as part of the Oostergasfabiek (Eastern Gas Plant), that no longer exists. It's a housing/shopping district now, with a concert hall and restaurants.

For the people who are like me: yes, there's also a Western Gas Plant, de Westergasfabriek, that does still have most of the buildings, and is used as a recreation area (there's a park) and for events/festivals of all sorts.

Ok, back to the ammonia building. When it was no longer of use, it became the main building of the Amsterdam animal shelter for 80 years. And when the shelter moved to Osdorp, it fell into disarray, until it was restored and turned into a brewery that opened in 2017. Most original details were kept fortunately.

The name Poesiat en Kater refers to two brewers from back in the day, of which you can see the portraits on the wall. It's also a bit of a pun in Dutch as "poes" means (female) cat, and "Kater" means tomcat. And "kater" also means hangover. Dutch really is a fascinating language. 😁

Just had an Architectural History exam outside, this is what I look like after walking around during a torrential downpour for three hours. I am SOAKED, like I've jumped into a pool with my clothes on. Even my hair is wet, and it's pure plastic. 🤣 I'm going to add "give a presentation during a storm" to my special skills on LinkedIn for real. It was super fun and interesting though, we walked through the city from the center to Zuid (South), each doing a talk about a part of the city. Despite the weather, great times were had by all. 🎉 Can't wait to get home and take a hot shower though. #architectuurenstedenbouw #arthistory #selfie #torrentialdownpour #exam ...

Tonight can only be described as "Quite sure it's illegal to sing this well". Both @teddyswims404 and his opening act @itskarlmichael are both ridiculously skilled vocalists that sing from the heart. And when they sing together, it's just 😍😍😍 Also, the Teddy Swims band might actually, as Teddy himself claims, be the best band in the world. #teddyswims #karlmichael #music #concert #SINGING #bestbandintheworld #qfactory ...

Finished this book in one day, haven't done that in years. Didn't know I was capable of it anymore, to be quite honest. 🤣 Anyway, I now know all there is to know about the founder of the Heineken beer brand, which will be helpful for my presentation this Friday. #book #glasses #heineken #studies #architectuurenstedenbouw #architecture #presentation #annejetvanderzijl ...
