In the Netherlands, it is the custom that, when during the construction of a house the highest point has been reached and the roof is ready for tiling, the client treats the construction workers to so-called "tile beer" to celebrate this. A flag is then placed on the ridge of the house. If the client is too stingy to treat, not a flag, but a broom is placed.
在荷蘭,按照慣例,當房屋建造過程中達到最高點並且屋頂準備好鋪瓷磚時,客戶會請建築工人喝所謂的"瓷磚啤酒"來慶祝這一點。然後將一面旗幟放在房子的山脊上。如果客戶太小而無法治療,則放置的不是旗幟,而是掃帚。
