Some men can live an entire life in a swig. As the frothy head swirls around your palette, mingling with the delectable aroma of molten honeydew, memories erupt in an intricate raft of delicate bubbles. Beer is part of Belgium's fabric. It defines Belgium, much as Belgium defines beer. Belgians certainly know how to have a good time. I enjoyed amber ales like kwak beer served in a round bottomed glass, blond ales like Duvel in a tulip glass, or Hoegaarden wheat beer in its traditional hexagonal glass, each a sensational combination of taste and its supporting branded glassware. Quaffing beer is a sensual delight in Belgium. After all, time is never wasted when you're wasted all the time.




Brugge's most well known beer
establishment, 2be
One of the best places in the world
to drink beer
Impressive cellar I like it!

Beerwall at 2be! The famous kwak beer,
made of amber ale with
about 8.4% alcohol, sporting
a distinct sweet, smooth
flavor. It comes with its unique
Pauwel Kwak round bottomed,
long necked glassware held
upright in its wooden stand.

Truer words are rarely spoken Watching the boats ply, watching the times fly
