What could be better? A flight to Belgium where the sun is shining and the beer's a LOT better

I don't doubt the sun is shining

But, the beer is a lot better?

Belgium is known for 3 things, fries, chocolate and beer. Provided you're not the sort of lightweight who can only handle 4.5% catpiss masquerading as beer. Yesterday I had a wonderful beer brewed with Spelt instead of only barey, today the honey beer will be going down, and that's before we start on the other 2000 or so different beers covering everything from boring mass produced crap like Stella to fruit beers to the stuff the monks brew up that makes your legs fall off, beers designed to savour a taste explosion in your mouth instead of being garbage you throw down your throat so you don't have to actually taste it.

I ain't saying the UK doesn't have some good beers, especially when you get into proper cask ales, but over here there's a LOT of good beers available in every supermarket and every pub, and I've been here for 13 years and still haven't tried every one, especially as more and more local "artisanal" beers are appearing on the market year upon year.

Pay a visit and try some at least once, just don't think you can swill it down like a pint of British lager or you'll be on your back in half an hour.

I said beer, not cat piss

Edit. One of the more "local" ones in my fridge, a mere 10.3% abv. Hardly a "lager"

I'm a scrumpy man myself.

@Banjacked I have been to Belgium a few times and partaken of a few ales, as you say, there are so many to try!

I have good friends in this city who are publicans and whole heartedly promote Trappist brewing methods!



By the way,I hate lager

Can't get "proper" scrumpy here, yet, but "zoider" has made some impressive inroads into the market here, especially as a summer drink.

Used to drink cider by the gallon, until my stomach couldn't handle the acidity, but one has been tempted to try some of the more "modern" versions.

I'm trying to remember the name of one famous one in the UK years ago, think it was Copperhead, suddenly had to be pulled from the market because it was still fermenting in the kegs and blowing people's heads off. Was funny as hell when the West Coasters came over to our neck of the woods and saw us throwing down quantities of the stuff that would knock them out for a week, but Taysiders know how to handle their hooch...
