Love and Hops: Belgian Beer Bonanza!



Well, the bags are packed. I have checked and re-checked that I have all the essentials: clean underwear, toothbrush, deodorant, beer money. The hotels are chosen and reserved, the flight is booked and my seat is chosen. Research has been completed on sights, landmarks, and breweries to visit. All that is left is to board the plane and let the adventure begin.

Belgium, arguably one of the world's greatest beer regions awaits my arrival. And by the time you read this, I will have arrived and most likely had my first Belgian beer on Belgian soil served to me by a Belgian native, in a correct glass for the particular beer. Over the next nine days I will be exploring the beer culture, pubs, restaurants, and museums of Belgium in search of the perfect beer. And you, dear readers, get to go along with me, if only on these pages.

No, readers, I have not forgotten you. Finding affordable WiFi turned out to be much more difficult than I expected. Be assured though, that I have been documenting my adventures and make full report. I have had some AMAZING beers over here and can't wait to tell you about it.

Long Live the Brewers!

Cheers!
