The taste of ‘Echt’

16-8-2011

At the end of August, four small Dutch family breweries, will present a new beer: the taste of Real 2011 (De Smaak van Echt 2011). The great thing about this beer is, that the best individual ingredients are being used. And what we understood from their tasting notes, they succeeded in making an ambercolored beer fermented with 6% alcohol, not too dry, with a pleasant bitterness.

 

CoffeeQube by MobiCcino

16-8-2011

MobiCcino opened his first CoffeeQube (an espresso bar) in an officebuilding of a big Dutch company in Amsterdam. We, of Horecatrends, are jealous, imagining having a barista in the canteen! At 6 square meter, espresso made by the Mirage machine and a barista.  MobiCcino is working on the CoffeeQube XL and XXL. Although we like the CoffeeQube we prefer the MobiCcino (smal red car), it’s such a great eyecatcher!

A beautiful food hall by the way where you can eat Italian food and buy it!
