Why do I like it?
- I can get a seat.
- It doesn't take too long to get served
- The measure is a decent size.
- The prices are reasonable
- There's the full spectrum of Belgian beer, regionals as well as micros.
- People quite often bring beer for me.
- Andrew likes the sausages.
- I can have a Stout - Lambic - Stout session.
- There are falling over beers for me to finish off with.
- I can score loads of free beers with all my memberships.
- I always meet old friends.
- The journey home isn't too long.
- A shop in Antwerp Centraal sells Guinness Special Export for that journey.
This year will be special. Both kids are coming along. Should provide loads of material of the glass-eating kind. My blog will eat off it for weeks. A bit like a buffalo carcass. But not as smelly. And definitely without maggots.
If you're there on Saturday afternoon, maybe you'll have the chance to buy me a beer. You wouldn't want Andrew and Lexie to go hungry, would you?
See you there, Ron! Are you planning to go to the pre-event at Alvinne too?
ReplyDeleteDes, no, I'm just going to Belgium for the day.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have a good day, cos I always like the entertaining blog entries afterwards. And it's even a family event... can't be bad. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. On a different note I am the brewer at a brewpub in Colorado, USA. I stumbled upon your site a few months ago. I bought your Mild! book and it inspired me to start a "Revival Series" of beers at our pub. I really appreciate this site and your work. Here's a bit a local beer writer posted about our first release. Hopefully we got the facts right!

Does ZBF ever have English beer? It would be easy enough to get it there, especially from London/the South East. Obviously CAMRA festivals always have Belgian, German etc beers.
ReplyDeleteMatt, it's Belgian-brewed beer only.
