    Guesthouse at St Bernardus Brewery!First Belgian beer on the Bar Bernardus rooftop!Rooftop, with hop field in background

    Poperinge Belgium!!!

    21 September 2024, Belgium ⋅ 🌙 59 °F

    We made it!!! Brian is in Bier Heaven! We took the train from the airport to this very small town. There is one taxi (TaxiLeo), and he is now our BFF. We had a room at the St Bernardus Guest House, which was totally cool. They only have 11 rooms. We did have the penthouse, but had to climb the stairs. Totally worth it!

    We had several Biers and dinner at Bar Bernardus. Their rooftop bar looks out over their hop farm and the countryside. We tried to get to St Sixtus, home of the "best beer in the world," but ended up being a story for tomorrow.    Baca lagi

    Sweet Nectar of the Gods

    22 September 2024, Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    OMG, Brian was in heaven today. As you recall from yesterday's post, we tried to get to St Sixtus to drink/buy Westveltern beers but were unable to get there. @#$% Uber! Our new hero, TaxiLeo, got us there this morning.

    WOW! Best beer in the world? If not, then pretty close. Multiple boxes are coming home with us! Cool "Dog Bar" as well. Next up: Ghent!    Baca lagi

    Allegedly the oldest bar in BelgiumGravensteen castleBrian found a brewery!

    Ghent Belgium

    22 September 2024, Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Made it to Ghent. It is such a cool, medieval city! We walked around, drank beer, ate frites, and enjoyed the place. It is a no vehicle Sunday, so the city is all bikes and foot traffic. While walking around, we grabbed a 40-minute boat ride on the river that runs through Ghent. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Ghent.

    We ate dinner at a local restaurant De Rechters, just for the pork cheeks braised in Belgian dark beer. YUM. We headed back to the hotel for games and a nightcap. Sante!!    Baca lagi

    23–29 Sep 2024, Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    Today was a taste of Ghent Private Tour. We were surprised that our tour guide was the same as Nitamarie had 3 years ago! We tasted beer, chocolate, frites, ... and got a lot of history and stories. We ended in the oldest candy store in Ghent.

    After our tour, we then went for a tour of the Gravensteen Castle. It was built not to protect the city but to let the people know who was in charge! We paused for a few beers and then went on to the Saint Bavos Cathedral. As expected, it was beautiful inside. Dinner was on the riverfront, where we tried a local ham and chickory (endive) dish. YUMM. We also tried the local PornStar Martini (surprised?!) YUMM.    Baca lagi

    Brussels, Belgium

    25 September 2024, Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    We took an early train from Ghent to Brussels today. And we hit the ground running. We had a beer and chocolate walking tour. WOW! Such good chocolate. We learned about roasting cocoa beans and true chocolatiers. Our guides were very knowledgeable and very funny. Then we started tasting beer. Some amazing beers and even a rare tapping of a Trappist beer.

    We learned a lot about the culture and saw the statue of the peeing child. Overall, it was a very fun day... maybe with too much Belgian beer... ending with a dance with the waiter!!    Baca lagi

    Oktoberfest... For real!!!

    26 September 2024, Jerman ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    Soooo many pictures and videos. You just have to experience it.
    The place is like a giant church festival. Rides and games. Popcorn and nuts, and these buildings that seat 10,000 people each, called Beer Tents!
    We had table reservations in the Lowenbrau tent.

    The reservation came with 20 liters of beer and 10 meals. Dancing on the benches is OK. But not the tables. At noon, people were mostly sitting. By 4 people were mostly drunk and partying on the benches!!! Every tent has a live band in the center. Their job is to play party songs.

    We made a friend, Jon, from Seattle, who joined us at our table for 10. So, in 4.5 hours, between the 5 of us. We drank 16 liters of beer! And had 5 meals. Good times were had by all!!    Baca lagi

    Our Last Day

    27 September 2024, Jerman ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    We spent our last day in Munich. We returned to Oktoberfest one final time. Yes, we wore our Lederhosen and Dirndl again. Had a beer and found a pin for the German hat. Got our 2024 Christmas ornament.

    At 5pm we were in Marienplatz and watched the Glockenspiel do its thing. It was fun to see the people all around holding up their cell phone and collectively ooohing as it performed.

    We ate at the Rathskeller on the platz.

    We finished with games in the lobby. Train and and plane tomorrow.    Baca lagi
