Oddly enough, we waited at legal seafood for 20 minutes and never got served. Also oddly enough, when the bartender at this beer bar in Brussels poured my Victoria Strong Blonde with a massive head I thought about @power13. I need to be on the forum less
TLDR - but has anyone tried the non alcoholic like Athletic Brewing? Any others?
As I’m getting older and finding out I’ve a minor case of gout, wanted to find a way to celebrate post-rides with a good brew without any flare ups due to alcohol. Yea I miss the slight buzz. For me its been just social drinks so wasn’t like I was doing this daily/regularly, just like a good beer.
The temps hit 70F today, first time since February? I dunno. Last night I had some Kava from Tonga, so of course tonight I had to go Deep Island. And pull out the Bob Marley rock, because the water hit 62F w/o solar panels. Time for afternoon rides and swims, once I get my pool vacuum rebuilt.
My wife has taken so many photos of me with all of the beers I’ve had over the past 10 days, first in Flanders and the last week in Bavaria.
The only one I’m posting is of the Kloster Andechs Weissbier at the monastery in Andechs, Bavaria (I’ve always wanted to drink beer at a monastery). I did a 20k run with hiking poles that culminated at the monastery immediately prior to this. Had to make it 4k back to the train station after.
Favorite beers of the trip would have to probably be either the Leffe Blonde or the Kwaremont Blonde - I’d had both in the states before, but they tasted so much better on draft that what I had in the states is tough to call the same beer. Brugge Tripel is also fantastic.
For any beer lover visiting Brussels, i HIGHLY recommend a solid afternoon/evening in Delerium Village.
You got a great selection there! We are lucky in New England in that we have a ton of great craft breweries. One of the founders of Wormtown (Be Hoppy) is one of my oldest friends so I am a bit biased but they make great beer. Trillium and Mighty Squirrel are nothing to sneeze at either
