Heading to Bruges tomorrow for the first time. Done a bit of reading so I've got some ideas of where I'd like to drink but does anyone have any 'must see/ must drink' recommendations please?
Coming back on Jan 2nd so only two days and three nights to fit things in.

Been out for a bit of a warm up for Bruges to the Three Horseshoes at Leamside. First up was Riding Ale Howling Hops which, at a weedy 3% abv could easily be dismissed as not worth bothering with, especially if there's plenty of other stuff on offer.

It's thin but I'm guessing it gets its flavour from three different types of hops. The type of beer for a refresher in the middle of a long, hot summer ride.

The Three Horseshoes is the tap for the Working Hand brewery so I tried their More Choke Jackie next. A session bitter tasting of coal dust.

I've had several more since then and have just realised that I should probably finish this post tomorrow (or never).

Mwnci Nel (Ha! Predictive text on the iFad didn't know what to do for that one!) from the Bragdy Nant brewery. Darker than Boris Johnson's soul but of more use. That isn't the description on the bottle by the way, it states, "chocolate and coffee flavours" amongst other stuff.

I like it but having now read the label I wish I had used a pint glass as it is bottle conditioned. Bum.

Nice to have another Kwak in a more appropriate glass.

Anyone tried this? Or the beer.

A ''3 beers and out'' visit to the local tonight. A New England IPA from No Frills. I had one of their beers before Christmas and it's not only unfined, it's unrefined. Plus it looks like Thames water. Dartford Wobbler's bitter went down well and was still enjoyable after the taste of the No Frills had been washed down. I have a 3 beer limit on the bike, so I finished off with a Rudgate's Ruby Mild, which was a very good one for the road. I liked it.

Home again and drinking a Wild Bill IPA, which is an ALDI beer sold for an acceptable £1.20 a half litre. A £1.20 well spent. I may just have another.....
