Here comes summer - the British 10K
On the subject of beer while in Antwerp as well as Duvel:
Golden Draak (Gold Dragon, 13.5%) - Nice but only once!
Burgogne Des Flandres - Caramelly and nice and smooth.
Rodenbach - Just nice on draught and in a bottle
Hoegaarden/Rodenbach Grand Cru - Mmmmmm
DeKonick on draught - light and hoppy
Then you could try a nice fruit beer and then move on to some of the trappist beers or the local brew (that escapes me).
I love Belgian beer. Best in the world and there are literally hundreds. Westmalle also good (try the 8 not the 10).
Was doing an English Civil War do in Ostend and found a bar that did over 140 beers and in the sake of research and as we were there for four days we tried quiet a few of them. Fruit beers like banana are cool. I am not such a fan of those beers (Frambosen). But banana and pineapple are worth a look. The guy at our bar made sure each beer came in its own glass. A pleasant way to spend an evening, then walk into the air and feel your legs give way :-).
