For me obviously nothing much in the brewing sense but I will be in the next few days in Belgium so at least some good beer after these few months.
Didn't like that much Spanish beer, but the craft beer scene here starts to pick up and they have some nice refreshing IPAs and other ale styles (the commercial beer was nearly undrinkable). Similar in Portugal, but the craft scene isn't that big.
I didn't had single beer that I would consider talking that much about in France, the blonde just isn't for me.
Do you like Belgian lambics? I'm a bit obsessed with brewing them, since they are hard to find for purchase where I live. Very limited selection when you do find them.
I live in CZ and beer is mostly water so it doesn't make much sense to ship it that far and we have lot of small brewerys. They usually experiment somehow but not much of them got to Belgian styles.
I had few Belgian beers, one pub have sometimes few bottles, but not that much. That's why I am going to Belgium...
Nice! Hope you have a wonderful time with all the beer they have to offer.
Yesterday I crossed the border, tooted on mastodon and someone told me about local craft beer fest...
I think that the first day in Belgium was really great.
Was the craft beer fest good? What did they have?
Really nice experience - 9 completely different beers, it was more local so I was bit of curiosity but I had really good chat with few people there.
Yes some stout with bourbon, beer brewed with spruce, tripels and more. Every beer just tasted completely different.
