Kudos to the Uiltje Brewery in Haarlem for coming up with this Oregon themed beer. Take note of the stickers on the side of the wagon and the barrel. They include references to the PDX carpet and Voodoo Doughnut. #Oregon#beer#Netherlands#Haarlem

A few more photos from today’s parade. Kudos to the Plastic Spotters for coming out to keep things tidy. Folks in the crowd were dropping empty cans into their nets. #Leiden#GayPride
