Thanks for the heads-up, Crockers! I'll file it along side lambic/gueuze in the 'avoid' section.

Bit late, I know, but I would have said eel too. I had eel in beer stew in a restaurant in Bruges last time I was there. It was fab. Really very fab indeed.
I don't think the beer they used was Cantillon though - how did that work out?

The picture was from Cantillon's facepants feed - apparently from a restaurant in Brussels called "Les Brittignes". Might be worth a visit if you are in that neck of the woods!
Can you remember the name of the place you ate in Bruges?

No. It was one of the proper touristy places, quaint wood panelling, gothic script signs, stuff like that. Not bad though.
I really wanted to go to Erasmus but that was closed for refurbishment at the time. I tried to persuade my wife that we should visit ’t Brugs Beertje instead but she wasn't having any of it.

I was in East London yesterday and tried 2 pubs that I needed to get to before my daughter's imminent move from Clapton.
One was the Anchor and Hope on the River Lea where I had a pint of the Fullers Bengal Lancer IPA - very quaffable. One of the increasingly few grotty real east end boozers.
Then a pint of Notting Hill Amber in the Crooked Billet - recently gastrofied from a rough old dive

Ah, the Anchor and Hope is such a great pub - I used live in L Clapton and went there quite a bit. The London Pride was always superbly fresh as it had such a quick turnover. At the time, the landlord had been tenant for over 50 years!
Never quite mustered up the courage to go in the Crooked Billet - at that time you couldn't see in the windows which always makes me a bit nervous.
She's been living in Clapton for 4 or 5 years but neither she, her husband, my son or any of their mates has ever had the courage to cross the Crooked Billet's threshold either. The High Street is being upgraded lately with an indie sour dough pizza place and other eateries and chi chi coffee shops. It will be full of the middle-class intelligentsia nowadays. The CB is well worth a visit now if you ever do a nostalgia trip. It's still a slight regret that I didn't have the bottle to try it out in it's rough days.
The Sovereign round the corner is a decent pub too, if you remember that one.
Here's the new frontage of the CB
