3 new things in one day! Japanese Ramen, 2 year old barrel aged beer and my first VR experience.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Today I spend most of the day at my friend Fabio's (@fabrews) house.

Mido, a friend I got to know through Fabio was also there.

We had a lot of fun.

Mido brought his VR kit and I never had the opportunity to try it before.

It blew me away.

Somethings you have to experience to believe it. VR is one of them. It truly puts you in a different world. It even made me question my own reality for a while. If you get a chance to try it do it! It's awesome.

After some VR fun, Fabio wanted to show us this new beer place he discovered. On the way there we realized we were famished. Fabio knew a Ramen place! Something I always wanted to try and something I have seen many times in chef programs that I like.

Ramen is an extremely delicious bowl of broth filled with goodies. This is the one I had. I now know why people go crazy over this. It's full of awesome flavor.

With my Ramen I ordered this. A Japanse soft drink. I'm not the biggest connoisseur of soft drinks but I always want to try new stuff. I just thought it was very sweet but it was nice.

We then went to the beer place and it was magical. I can't believe we didn't know about this place before!

Hundreds of different beers on the shelf. A dream!

I selected this one. From Brewdog. One of my favorite breweries. A 2-year old bourbon barrel aged beer. Something I never tried before. (oldest must have been 6-12 months).

When we got home I got 3 nice glasses and opened the bottle. The top was completely waxed over and it took a while to take off. (wax the top of the bottle is a thing with barrel aged beer). Once opened the beer looked stunning. Great color too.

The aroma coming from the glass was intense. I took a sip and you could taste that deep bourbon flavor in the beer. It also hit me like a freight train because it's 11.5%. I had no trouble sharing it with my friends.

Not bad for a normal Saturday in January!

That is a wonderful Saturday with your friends.
Beer is something that you like to try and fond with.
I kept my promise to write a post about cooking you made with Bianca about TACOS.
I will do it today with @maj.
we enjoyed it fully.
Thank you for your inspiration with cooking.
Keep on steemin’

I hope your taco's will turn out great!

@exyle,
Wow you had 3 great experiences in a single day! I am very interesting about VR thing! Hope to hear more about VR thing! Thanks for sharing your great experiences!

Cheers~

I already gave my witness vote to @blockbrothers. Nice VR fun you felt and then use nice choice beer with spicy food in restaurant. Woah...Its a beer store.. Lol..
You can get more beers with friends...Nice snap shots indeed. Awesome experience @exyle.

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote! I just ask for a Follow in return!

Wow - looks like a perfect day.

@exyle Did you get Multiple Beers at the store ?? The Ramen Bowl looked Very Tasty. I am like you the soda from Japan was not as good as the beer I'm sure.........

Perfect Saturday my friend and you had time to have fun! The fact that you tried the VR is wonderful, because it actually takes you to another reality and the possibilities of perception are unlimited. What a meeting of old friends can be without excellent beer and good food and I see you all were pleased, because I imagine what the excellent taste of this dark beer! Thank you Mark and keep us informed of what's happening!

That looks like my beer shop. What a selection! I will have to keep an eye out for that beer, I like the barrel aged ones!

I love BA beer man!

V.R capabilities are really amazing looks like you got away from the reality hehe thanks to your friend that they made it to the reality with some awesome dishes ramen is looking superb from the post pic and the beer madness wow that amazing too

Not bad at all for a Saturday! I have one of those VRthings at home, I have to say the images where so much better than I expected (BF reaalllllly had to have one), and after a month of laughing about it, the VR is catching dust on a shelf somewhere in a corner.

You really never had any ramen before?? <3 I could eat ramen every time of the day

I realised I can eat ramen all day too now :)

I've always wanted to try something from Brewdog, but I've never seen it in a store. I know they have some crazy high ABV brews like Sink the Bismarck! and Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Kind of a novelty, but I would try one. Maybe not all in one sitting, lol. Bourbon-barrel aged beer is the best.

Extremely superb experience you've got on with @fabrews and his friend. Wonderful 1st VR technology of you. But unfortunately you never had the opportunity to try it. Extremely delicious Ramen Bowl indeed. I heard before but no choice yet.
Omg...Huge beer stores. Did you enough beer with different modules? bourbon beer seem some heavy look with dark color. 11.5% best alcohol volume. Pretty nice stuff.

This was such a great post filled with positivity and fun. I’m really interested in VR and have yet to experience it but I’ve heard that it’s incredible. Jesse Wellens included some VR footage in his YouTube Vlog last year and I was captivated. Keep creating great content my friend. Peace.

Thank you for posting dear @exyle

Wow,You truly had the best day of life literally 3 different things in a single day

 Somethings you have to experience to believe it. VR is one of them. 

Well this seem to be worth trying it out i had tried the basic version of it and it was not upto the mark at that stage a year ago but if you say i will definitely try it out looks like Virtual reality is going into new heights.

 With my Ramen I ordered this. A Japanse soft drink.

Seems like @fabrews knows the best places of the town ;) ...the Ramen from the word go looks delicious and trying out new soft drink must be an awesome experience for sure :)

 Hundreds of different beers on the shelf. A dream!

The simile says it all hahah nothing can describe it more than those expression :D 

Cheers to the amazing day...


wow nice.. what kind of VR movie did you try?

The best was the 'stranger things' experience.

Hi @exyle, So, I hope you did wake up without the famous "kater" , the night out with friends, playing with VR and especially find some nice beers (what looks impossible), would have bring a lot fun. Take your rest today on this lazy sunday !

I feel good :)

And the weather is go to go out for a “ fresh nose” !

If you have the chance, try out some Mikeller beer, or a Chimey Bleu, some of my personal favorites :) I've made Ramen myself before, there's nothing more rewarding, it is extremely flavorful.

Cheers man

Thanks for the tips! I have written them down!

If you like the android based VR you'll love an oculus rift or the htc vive. It's definitely the future of gaming.

Excellent and it's great to see you have a wonderful time with your friends and spending time with friends is a great way to release some stress and gain back freshness too and i also like that ramen bowl and friend no doubt it looks so tasty and delicious and i hope it also tastes great, wish you a very cheerful and joyful weekend ahead friend, Stay awesome

Good times spent with great friends. On a cold Saturday in January, having comfort food and drink is needed, especially after a long week at work. We are glad you had three new experiences in one day. We still need to try VR as well as that Brewdog beer. Sam loves his craft beers, even though Becca feels they all taste the same - hoppy, citrus and bitter.

Hello Sir @exyle..How are you. I have read your post and enjoyed. The more I was reading it the more I was getting fun. Really you spent a awesome a day. They are very fortunate who have friend like you. Because In my own point of view The one who takes a step in keeping with your feet can learn a lot from you.

Thank you @exyle for sharing your beautiful day with us.

The VR looks fun.

Photos rich from the definition I like it thank you brother
I love the wonderful publication thank you for the smooth content good look brother

Wow! You had quite the day eh brother? I love it, you've inspired me to seek out VR and try it, sounds fun :)

I wonder how VR feels after a few beers like that :))))

Now thats a selection of ales.. I love those holes, kind of like the cider shops on the farms in Herefordshire and the likes.

Great food, fresh beer, what else could be missing?
Oh, VR!
Did you know that Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction? But the internet was once a dream as well, and so were computers and smartphones. Now it’s “Virtual Reality”
Resteemed!

Maximus young generation people like VR.same i like it..

Sound like you had a very refreshing day.
VR is a technology that can bring the people places that may not otherwise reach. But don’t get too much of it, its addictive.
Cheers!

Enjoy your life, my friend

Excellent day full of fun and exploring new things from v.r to ramen and the old beer wow that's what men love to do

Hey @exyle I see you are from the Netherlands I am wondering what town are you from? just curious because I have a lot of friends from the Netherlands :)

Using VR is a great experience. I still have no chance to use VR. Have a nice day!

         Resteemed!

I'm so jealous... You've got some friends.
Maybe if I was as nice as you I would get some too?? :(
Love your blogs bro, please be forever on steemit so I can visit you time after time.

VR + beer that´s a great combination!!
I have never used VR before, now I feel the need to do it...

Very Nice @exyle

great to see that
This is really cool :)

hmm japanese ramen =) oishii so da ne, ITADAKIMASUU ! haha

An amazing day you had.

Really @exyle you had fun indeed,am just imagining myself in your shoes right now after reading your story,cause am really bored over here,buy yhis a nice story about your day

It was a first for me also, reverse engineering a recipe based on its characteristics and brewing that on a 30L batch was quite a challenge and the first time I ever did it. I aimed for a good clone of Hop & Liefde, but in the end I am just hoping for a great beer, no matter how similar or not.
I had a great time man, thanks for coming over and helping with the Brew. Try to come next weekend when we bottle these bad boys. As for the Ramen, you can give me a call anytime to go there again, that place is Baller.

Fantastic story @exyle. I definitely should try VR. Hope it comes true! :)

You had an awesome day! So good to hang out with friends to experience VR, taste good food and explore new beer place!
