Pusia, the family sausage dog, was super tired after the potato harvest. She spent all day running after mice, butterflies and an occasional hare. Just look at her nose, covered in soil from all the digging! . . . #sausagedog #potatoharvest #wykopki #sausagedoglove #tiredbuthappy #countryside #polishcountryside #poland #jamnik #dogsofinstagram #daschund #howdogssleep

Who else out there loves September? The mornings are a bit misty, days still pretty summery, and evenings chilly. We were very lucky with the weather on Saturday. The colours were beautiful! . . . #countryside #polishcountryside #poland #lesserpoland #wykopki #potatoharvest #fields #autumn #september #bluesky #clouds #nature #outdoors

While adults were busy picking potatoes, kids were busy playing. Their favourite game, apart from supervising the potato collection, was finding interestingly-shaped potatoes. They were then brought to me, with a request to photograph them and to make a mental note of what the shape resembles. This ons here, ladies and gentlemen, is a snowman (apparently). . . . #wykopki #potatoharvest #potato #autumn #harvest #countryside #polishcountryside #poland #lesserpoland #family #kids #outdoors #nature #agriculture #growyourfood #foodgrowing #food #vegetables

Family in action. As custom has it, when potato harvest takes place, the whole family is involved. Aunties, uncles, cousins and siblings come from other villages to help pick potatoes from the field (and fields are quite often h u g e). With so many people showing up, wykopki (the name for potato harvest in Polish) become a social event, when you catch up on gossip, see extended family in non-formal setting and eat a nice lunch together after harvest is done. Used to love potato harvest when I was a kid, and I still enjoy it now. Have you ever participated in one? . . . #wykopki #potatoharvest #harvest #autumn #potatoes #countryside #polishcountryside #poland #lesserpoland #agriculture #growingfood #growyourfood #field #bluesky #weekend #family

Black IPA from Pulfer, Croatia 🇭🇷. On our day trip to Zagreb last year, a friend recommended one bar to head to if I was interested in beers (which indeed I am!). I tried a few beers before asking for a pint of the Porter they had, but once I sat down and started to drink it, it seemed very unlike any other Porter I'd tried 😂. So when I finished it, I asked for a taster of this beer, and it turned out that this was what I was given! Luckily it was a great beer so I had no need to return it, and I even managed to find a bottle of it the next day 😮 so here goes my second taste. A Black IPA at 6.9%! Roasted malt flavour but not too strong, Pine and citrus give it a fruity zing. Medium bitter finish with a touch of chocolate. 8/10. #blackipa #pulfer #croatianbeer #croatia #croatian #ipa #indiapaleale #blackindiapaleale #craftbeer #beer #beerblog #beerlover #beertasting #beerdrinker #beerappreciation #beerphoto #beerrating #beertime #craftbeerlover #beerreview #beerme #beersoftheworld #beerphotography #beerenthusiast #beerme

Daintree from Fourpure Brewing Company v Tiny Rebel, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Like I said, it's a short holiday (leaving tomorrow 😫) so although there was just about enough time to meet with friends and family, finding the moment to sit with a beer and savour it was not so easy - so that's why I'm drinking this not much longer after the other on this fine Sunday afternoon. Also another gift I can't take with me! A Mango Smoothie IPA at 6%. Looks very much like mango juice, bit more consistency than your average IPA (but luckily not so much like mango juice 😂). Definitely a strong and sweet mango flavour but without overstepping the mark. Finish is bittersweet with a hint of passion fruit. A summer beer for those who don't want a cider. 8.5/10. #daintree #fourpure #tinyrebel #ipa #mangosmoothieipa #indiapaleale #mango #beer #craftbeer #beerphotography #beerenthusiast #beerrating #beerlover #beerblog #beerreview #beerappreciation #beerphoto #craftbeerlover #beergeek #beersoftheworld #beertime #beerme #beertasting #beersofinstagram #beeroclock

Breakfast Club from Vocation Brewery v Yeastie Boys, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Back for a short holiday in England which means trying some old favourites and anything new I fancy. Luckily my brother took care of the new ones for me with this (and one more 😉). I think I can safely say that I've never wanted to try a beer so much just from looking at the can, and I don't even like blueberries 😅. A Breakfast Stout at 6.9%. Smooth and minimal fizz makes it creamy and enjoyable to drink. Sweet vanilla and mild coffee flavours with a tangy, slightly bitter finish of blueberries and blackberries. Definitely lived up to expectations! 9/10. #breakfastclub #vocationbrewery #yeastieboys #breakfaststout #stout #beer #englishbeer #england #english #craftbeer #beertime #beerblog #beerlover #beerphotography #beerrating #beerme #beerenthusiast #beerreview #beertasting #beersoftheworld #beerappreciation #craftbeerlover #stoutlover #beerphoto #beersofinstagram #beeroclock

Hobgoblin from Wychwood Brewery, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. When I first started working in a pub at 19, I had no idea about English Ales and even less desire to drink them. Even after the Craft Beer scene started to pull me in and get me trying new styles of beer, you would sooner see me order a diet tonic water than a pint from the hand pump. It wasn't until we went to visit family a year or so ago that my uncle offered me a beer and came back with this. Not wanting to be rude, I graciously accepted. Tentatively sipping it I started to realise what I'd been missing out on. Needless to say I was quite happy to see a bottle of this turn up amongst our personal possessions after Christmas! A Ruby Ale at 5.2%. Little bit chocolatey, smokey and fruity. Satisfying moderate bitterness with a slight smokiness. Complex flavours but still a down to earth beer. 8/10. #hobgoblin #wychwoodbrewery #englishbeer #england #english #rubyale #realale #beer #ale #beerlover #beertime #beertasting #beerreview #beerphotography #beerblog #beerrating #beerenthusiast #beersoftheworld #beerphoto #beerme #beerappreciation #beerme

Komes Russian Imperial Stout from Browar Fortuna, Poland 🇵🇱. In foreign countries it's always interesting looking around supermarkets, especially the beer section. What I've noticed in Poland is that almost every "big" brewer has their own high-strength Porter (of which I've tried almost all by now, but hey, it was winter! 😂), but this made me think last time; "I really fancy a Stout!". Luckily this one came to the rescue, sitting on the edge of the shelf! An Imperial Stout at 12%. Smokey plum sweetness, Malty backbone and a touch of dark chocolate to give it a compensating bitterness. Velvety smooth and alcohol content is hidden nicely - it creeps up to deliver a whole-body warmness which was great for the winter! 9.5/10. #komesrussianimperialstout #browarfortuna #polishbeer #stout #imperialstout #beer #craftbeer #beerlover #beerreview #beertasting #beertime #beerme #beersofinstagram #beerappreciation #craftbeerlover #beerrating #beersoftheworld #beerphotography #beerblog #beerphoto #stoutlover #beerenthusiast

San Servolo Svijetla Pivo from Bujska Pivovara, Croatia 🇭🇷. During my time in Istria, I had more than a few beers from this brewer, but maybe only tried this one once. Never really grabbed my attention before, mainly because I prefer darker beers, but since I had the opportunity I thought I should give it a go! A Lager at 5.1%. Little bit hoppy with some light citrus and pine notes. Smooth drinking and a light bitter finish. Quite impressed with it compared to your average lager! 7/10. #sanservolosvijetlo #bujskapivovara #croatianbeer #croatian #beer #lager #beertime #craftbeer #beerme #beerblog #croatia #beertasting #beerreview #beerenthusiast #beerlover #craftbeerlover #beerappreciation #beerrating #beerphoto #beernerd #beergeek #beersoftheworld #beerphotography
