Looks like you had a good trip. I'm really partial to both Westmalles (I can't make out whether that's dubbel or tripel from that photo) and hommel beer is great and really unique.

When I was Belgium last summer, I made a personal vow to avoid wine and try no to drink the same beer twice. I broke the first rule when I had a sup of champagne to celebrate my girlfriend becoming my fiancee. The second rule was broken when I realized that every bottle of Orval tastes different anyway and I gradually became addicted to it (I'm like a shopoholic-only with booze instead of shopping).

What impressed me most was the respect that beer is universally treated. I don't believe for a second that getting the exact right glass for every beer will effect the taste of the beer but it really adds to the ritual of drinking. I also liked the way that even the shitty boozers had beers like Rochefort 8 and Orval readily available.

Still, some real porn would have been nice.

I (half) remember an epic night in the Fransciscan Well fueled by waaaay to much Hommel Beer.

Wicked strong stuff.

That’s a dubbel Westmalle. That was on tap. Hommel was from the bottle and the Delirium Tremens was on tap. That stuff is very very good. Very intricate beer. Needs a few glasses to really grasp the taste. Lots of shit going on with it. Great design on the bottles and glasses too. I do think the wider/fuller glasses compliment the beers….with regards to airing them and letting them breathe....becos they are still fermenting or living in alot of cases.

One bar I drank in whilst in Gent had over 250 bottled beers available. Mostly Belgian. Fuckin crazy.

Even the cheap wheat beers served in restaurants are fantastic. And the popular Kriek cherry beer is so tasty too. The colour is amazing when it comes from the tap.

And I can’t say I had one hangover in 4 days…and I drank a fair bit. The beer is just so fucking good.

Aye, Delirium Tremen is good gear alright.

Don't get me wrong, the shape of the glass is really important but a guy in my work told me that you need the exact right glass for every beer. I think a Rochefort is going to taste just as good from a Chimay or Westmalle glass as it would from the Rochefort glass.

I wish I was in Belgium.

Yeah, the DT's is great. Good value and all. I remember getting wasted on Maredsous in Brussels once. A really underappreciated beer; you can get it in the Porter House, Deveney's (Dundrum) and Redmond's, probably other place.

That's a fairly recent discovery for me. I was really impressed by it and surprised too. I shouldn't have been surprised though, it's brewed by the same crowd that make Duvel. I came across a bottle in Whelan's off licence recently.
