Una Selmana n'una Botella de Cerveza/Bottle Conditioned Week

Esta selmana nun fue lo que se diz una selmana relaxada. Tuvi un montón de clases que dar, una tradución per difícil que entregar, y una unidá didáctica con fecha llímien n'el martes qu’entra. Cualquier persona n'el so sanu xuiciu, saldría a dar un paseu, fadría deporte o diría al cine pa relaxase. El que esto suscribe ye de tóu menos cuerdu y atopa el so descansu na barra un chigre o tomando cerveza en casa//This last week was really exhausting: A lot of lessons to give, a long difficult issue to translate and new stuff to study made me spent many hours in front of this computer typing like a mad. A sane person would have chosen a long walk, some time at the gym or going to the cinema as a way of breaking the routine and relax themselves. I’m just the opposite to a sane person so I chose beer. Mainly bottled beer because I have not much time to go to the pub(at least not as much as I would've liked)

El llunes fue un día movíu,( tell me why I don't like Mondays, cantaben Bob Geldof y los Downtown Rats) así que pasé pol Paco’s a probar les novedaes. Tovía tan añadiendo cerveces a la so llista interactiva con lo que nun pude empezar a facer la carta cerveces que me encomendaran. Floreffe blonde, dubbel y la acoyonate prima melior foron les últimes en llegar y les que me llevaron con los sos sabores a maltes, especies y fruta a  tierres flamenques,  allegrándome la tardi.//On Monday, after a really dog’s day I went to Paco’s to taste their novelties. They ‘re still adding up beers to their stock so I can’t start to make the new beerlist they had asked me to do. Floreffe blond,Floreffe Dubbel and Floreffe Prima Mellior are the newest at their list.Their spicies, malts and fruitness virtually took me to the Flemish region, making my day!!

El martes nun fue muncho meyor pero la reunión extraoficial pa probar l’ultimo de la Cotoya Breweries diome fuercies. Esta vegada sorprendionos con una ale escura de primavera, ensin filtrar ni pasteurizar. Una cerveza que , una vez rectificáu l’escesu d'acidez y el toque a mantequizu, tendrá munches posibilidaes porque ye un concéutu diferente y frescu. //Thursday was even a worst day, but we got an evening appointment that gave me hope and strenght. CAAC got a non-official meeting at El Lúpulo to taste the last creation by Cotoya Craft Breweries. He kindly offered us a mix- of- malts spring ale. Dark, un-filtered and non pasteurised, it's a beer to follow once they can correct a little excess of acidity.We think it is a nice new approach to fresh kind of ale.

El miércoles, tras tantes hores pegáu a la pantalla d’esti ordenaor, hubiere sío muy aburríu sin l'aprovisionamientu de cerveces cortesía, previu pagu, de Ludmilla y la so tienda de productos del'este, Kashtan. Magnant’s ye una llager ucraniana que cumple la so función de refrescar , la. Baltika 6 ye un gran exemplu de Baltic Porter, escura, densa y fuerte de carálter. Como ye d'esperar//Wednesday at home should have been really boring without my provision of Eastern Europe beers acquired at Ludmilla’s Ukranian Shop . Magnant’s is a Ukranian especial lager.Clean, clear and smooth enough to fullfil its goal:To refresh. As a dessert I drank my favourite Baltika. Baltika Nº 6 is a baltic porter style dark lager, really well balanced with that licquorice and chocolate undertones, a bit sweet and a much alcoholic, always satisfying.

Llegó el Xueves y sigo pegau a esta pantalla. La tradución nun me sal ni pa dios y enriba tengo que correxir dos redaciones de los guajes. A la hora cenar desconecté y pegueme un homenaxe. faciendo una cenina a base de cerveces y quesos. Serra de oveya portugués, Camembert franchute y una ensalada caprese (tomate, albahaca fresco y aceite de oliva extra virxen) regáo con DAB , fresca pils de Dortmund. De segundu, Pecorino romano y Manchego curáu-los dos de oveya- xunto con una cerveza aragonesa :Export de La Zaragozana,. La xuntanza ye inmeyorable //Thursday came and nothing changed. I’m still stuck in the middle with that computer and that bloody translation. Exhausted, I decided to make a cheese&beer pairing dinner. Some portuguese Serra, some Italian Peccorino, a much of Spanish Manchego and a bit of French Camembert were at my table. Fresh tomato, olive extra virgin oil and basil salad aside and of course, two different beers: DAB  the best seller beer in Dortmund, is wonderful with the salad, the portuguese cheese and the camembert while La Zaragozana Export is perfect to accompany the peccorino and the manchego, Strong sheep cheeses whose flavours are rounded up by the strong character of this three malts and two fermentations extra lager.

Ya ye Vienres y como decía el canciu de the Cure, Friday I’m love. Por fin entregué la traducción, doy les últimes clases y pa les 20h quedo nel Paco’s con la xente pa poder degustar entre tous les novedaes. Cinco rondes variáes: Floreffe-blonde, dubbel y prima melior de primeru; Palm, Rochefort 6, Marston’s Pedigree de segundu, y tres hores de rises y comedia faennos muncho bien. A les 23 pa casa que mañana "ye día escuela" que diría mio madre//Friday, I’m in love used to sing The Cure. Finally, I’ve sent the translation, I finished up the last lessons and around 20 o ‘clock I went again To Paco’s where I had an appointment with the Crew. Five rounds (the three Floreffe, Palm, Rochefort 6 and Marston’s pedigree), a lot of laughing and shared tastings and then back home by 23, after three hours of scapism.

Sábadu. El despertaor llevantame a les 7.30 y pa les 8.10 ya toy dando-y a la unidá didáctica como un llocu. Menos mal que pa les 18h quedé con un compañeru d'estudios pa que me aconsexara sobre como enfocar un par de temes y asína pude aprovechar pa relaxame tomando daqué. La relayación foi doble porque doble ye el nome de la cerveza que me dexó prendáu: Double XX bitter de la cervecera belga De Ranke. Pa mi gustu,fasta agora, la más atrevía y rompeora de les micro cerveceres belgues, xunto quicíaes con Achouffe-aunque esta ya nun seya tan micro. Dende güey otra de les mios favorites//Saturday was a better day but anyway the alarm clock woke me up at 7.30 and by 8.10 I was typing and preparing the lessons again. By 18.00h I went to my local in order to relax a bit. And Relaxx, with double XX, is what I found in the two bottles of De Ranke Double XX bitter,the hoppiest beer in Belgium and, in my opinion, probably the most revolutionary Belgian microbrewery-together with Achouffe, of course, taking into account the Belgium standard. A darevil kind of brew, a surprise and another favourite of my from now on.

Domingo: Peslláo pa  nun dir a misa pero si  tomar el vermú//Sunday:”Sorry, We’re close and attending mass( at a pub near the church)
