It definitely wasn't unexpected—quite the opposite: I had faith and hope that we'd end up one night at a nice tavern with fun tasting options, just like you pulled off here! Because, without a doubt, we were counting on your expert guidance to make sure the outcome was much more "Buena" than Mala—both the idea and the venue! Thanks for that!

Your comment about scientists reminded me of the famous “Pint of Science” event, making me think we should have a similar idea at Hive… hmm, interesting.

Hahaha, thanks for the pressure—I’ve got the culinary recap ready to share in a few days; for now, I like the idea of revelling in the memory of the beers we tried; honestly, your photos of the freshly poured beers are making me thirsty again.

As for the Gelato beers, spot on—they were way better than anyone could have expected; I’d definitely have another!

And the concise take on La Mala Buena was spot on—it’s a place I’ll definitely recommend in Alicante; on the other hand, I found it really fun to read a review that was much more laid-back and relaxed than usual—we really brought out the friendly side of the God of Fish!

Cheers!
