Beer?

Thanks I'll be paying them a visit... 🍺

I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit. Looking at the website, the paper menu they have on the bar must only be a representative sample. About 100 on paper, but over 2000 different bottles according to the web.
My two regulars in there are Delirium Tremens and Tripel Karmeliet, they're both similar tripel styles, but there is something to suit everyone. Just be careful on your way home, a few of those and you'll be sideways walking and seeing dubbel or tripel. 😄

I normally stay in Mechelen, halfway between Brussels & Antwerp.

This is a good brewery and has the added bonus of a hotel attached.

We have stayed there a couple of times, lovely part of the world.

Delerium is fine, but often gets full of pissed up tourists. I think there are nicer places to hang out in Brussels. Brasserie de la Senne and Brasserie de la Source are walkable from Noord, have great beer and a more relaxed vibe. The two Moeder Lambik places have great beer selections. Cantillon is 5 min walk from Midi and serves the best beer in the world. Brussels Beer Project in Dansaert is pretty hip.

A bit average, won’t be buying it again. But glad I tried it.

Beetroot beer. Looks amazing and tastes pretty good.

Trying to ease off during the week, this is the best yet. Very good

This one's a bit like a coffee Guinness. Pool-Parti. A little odd but it'll cover for the absence of pancakes

After saying I don't like hazy I couldn't resist giving this one a go, I wish I'd not bothered now.

Unlike the Punk that smashes you in the face with the extra flavour and alcohol the hazy doesn't really taste much different to the standard Hazy Jane.

I think Brewdog is my least favourite IPA for some reason. Reminds me of that wierd Stella taste.

Double Punk is lovely, I also like Mr President but now that it's gone to £4.00 a can it's the straw that broke the camel's back pricewise.

One of my all time favourites was Brewdog's Jackhammer, I'd not seen it for ages though so emailed them to ask where it was, there answer was that they were producing it any more unfortunately.

These two for me tonight.

The Siren's a bog standard stout that's very nice but doesn't stand out in any way, whereas the Northern Monk is top class with loads of flavour, I could quite easily have polished off a couple more of those.
