In May & June 2004 my husband and I had a wonderful vacation in Europe. Here are some photos taken in Belgium:
Den Trollekelder in Gent
The “Troll Cellar” is one of the many quaint little beer bars in my favorite place in the whole world. Their beer list doesn’t quite live up to the decor, though, so on to…
Hanssen's Oude Gueuze - Kaffe de Hopduvel in Gent
The Hopduvel, which had an extensive beer menu, and of course I had to start out with this fine gueuze.
Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant in Gent
A lazy afternoon in Gent, looking out over the canal towards Kraanlei.
In Bruges we toured the beer museum at De Halve Maan (“half moon”); the tour finished with tastings of Straffe Hendrik (“Strong Henry”). The brewery now also brews the popular Bruges Zot (“Bruges Fool”).

Belgium’s hops capital is Poperinge, in West-Vlaanderen. There I enjoyed some Poperinges Hommelbier at a pleasant cafe…

Good brewing,
