Another day in Belgium means only one thing for @srw - more beer: this one for an early afternoon pick-me-up:
(the glass on the left is my 'cider' AKA mildly alcoholic apple juice). No apparent sign of the ginger advertised on the bottle, apparently.
We then drifted past the Halve Maan brewery and it seemed impolite not to have something:
... looking into a room with four huge brewing vats:
@srw 's comment on the Straffe Hendrijk: "very nice".
My wine was rather welcome too.

Please can I come back in? I've stopped drinking Heineken and have 3 bottles of Proper Job and 3 bottles of King Goblin for this evening (I'm on call and have to use moderation)

It's a bit more complicated than that...
It was Straffe Hendrik Heritage - an oak-aged version of their Quadrupel (11%), and uniquely (they claim) served in the brewery bar from the vat in 20cl glasses rather than by the bottle.

I won't even try to outdo the description on the brewery's webpage, which seems perfectly accurate. All four of their standard beers were avaialble on tap, unfiltered. Given more time I might have tried the lot, after a brewery tour...
This is the brewery which is crowdfunding to (supposedly) try and lay a pipe from the brewery to a bottling plant outside the walls:

Hoppy Mondays, a single hop IPA with Equinox from To Ol. Very fruity - just the job.
I went for a walk in the woods and had a pint in this 'pub', that the eagle-eyed might just be able to spot deep in the jungle.
Ashdown pale ale, which was tolerably good and presumably hails from nearby Ashdown forest. The 'pub' is a rather grand house in parkland where my daughter got married.
If nobody objects, can I sneak in this photo of a beautiful rose I snapped nearby.

Just been to the local Tesco. Spoilt for choice Bulmers for £1.50 a bottle and Peroni £2 a bottle (the big ones). Bought 4 of each 
though knowing my drinking habits I'll have two and then have
