Spotted lasted Sunday at The Grand’Place/Grote Markt in Brussels: This baby-faced boy drinking Lindeman’s Kriek alongside what appeared to be (and acted like) his parents and grandparents.
Lindeman’s Kriek and Gueuze were being poured in the tent behind he family.
We’ve saw other young people drinking both beer and wine with the parents in Brussels restaurants.
We’re bunking (for one more night in Brussels) less than two blocks from maybe 10,000 beers you probably want to drink.
The best deals are in the grocery stores — not nearly the selection of bottle shops and not what I’m really looking for, but dang solid. Bottles of Chimay, Westmalle, Rochefort and Orval all go for between a euro and €1.50. A 75cl bottle of Chimay Grand Reserve is €2.90.
Anyway, the news. I wasn’t looking for Westvleteren beers since we plan to stop by the cafe next week. But I spotted a crate at de Bier Tempel. Details at Brew Like a Monk.
Bathtub Brewery has announced the topic for Session #20 (meaning that in November it becomes “legal”):
Is there a beer that reminds you of a specific memory?
If you’re thinking, “Huh?” then you might want to craft your response along the lines of “Whenever I drink [insert brew here] it reminds me of that day …” Or perhaps it’s the reverse. Oooooh.
A great topic, but an interesting challenge here. We’ll be in the village of Neuhaus, Germany, because Oct. 3 is the one day of the year all of the Zoigl brewers they serve beer. Perhaps I’ll blog about that, perhaps something else and perhaps I won’t be online at all.
If you’ve got a blog and want to participate it is easy. After you post your contribution drop a line to Bathtub Brewery.
Do you know where in the beer world this photo was taken?
Please include the village, town or city.
By now I hope you have a good idea what is going on here. If not, visit the archives.
A hint? Well, if you try what I think would be the obvious Google search don’t get too excited. Lots of results, but the correct answer doesn’t come up early.
If nobody provides the correct answer in relatively short order then I’ll have another hint that should make it really easy. Just can’t be sure when I’ll be back online to lend that helping hand . . .
Here’s the beer list at Cafe De II Prinsen in Amsterdam.
Is there a beer here that doesn’t fit?
