Historical

Biervlieg

Beer fly

The veldpaap has named you Biervlieg (Beer fly).

You must accept the name.

Why this name

The table noticed you first for drink and company. Biervlieg (Beer fly) is the historical bentnaam for that appetite — not a compliment, not a lecture, a public label. Your appetite and vice put appetite and vice at the top.

The historical echo

Dirck van Baburen (c. 1595–1624), Utrecht Caravaggist and early Bentvueghel, bore Biervlieg (Beer fly). He worked in Rome (San Pietro in Montorio orbit) and died young in Utrecht.
