Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 19:59 Thu 7/2/2015 In weather like now that calls for thirstquenchers, in a country that does poorly at quality pils deserving of that name: Cuvée De Ranke; any saison by Blaugies. Both none too hard to come by.
Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 02:08 Fri 7/3/2015 Glad to see Cuvee de Ranke mentioned, but I’d also say grab a tap XX Bitter if you can. SImply stunning when on top form.
Message JoeinDahlem beers 1664 º places 356 º 02:35 Fri 7/3/2015 When you’re in Brussels, pop into the Fleur en Papier Doré for draught Girardin kriekenlambic, bloempanch (Brussels black pudding), and surrealist bric-a-brac.

Message Beersiveknown P beers 5380 º places 180 º 02:43 Fri 7/3/2015 Cheers all, good suggestions so far and a few I’d not heard of, keep ’em coming
Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 04:08 Fri 7/3/2015 From De la Senne Zinnebir and Jambe de Bois on tap at PinPon in Brussels also blew me away with intense drinkability and even some creaminess, offsetting those trademark DLS flowery bitters.
Message Phil beers 181 º places 34 º 04:23 Fri 7/3/2015 Blaugies, Hill Farmstead Saison Vermontoise. Anything by De Ranke, De la Senne.. and will add more.

Message Leighton P beers 33700 º places 1204 º 04:48 Fri 7/3/2015 I see there are a few beers from Tilquin that you’ve not had - look for those.
Message Scopey P beers 24169 º places 727 º 07:02 Fri 7/3/2015 De La Senne wins.
Message tdtm82 beers 1704 º places 138 º 08:05 Fri 7/3/2015 Originally posted by Beersiveknown While I’m on a role I thought I’d make a third thread as after all 3 is a magic number. If you could recommend one Belgian beer (from Belgium) to seek out whilst in Belgium (I’m in Brussells/Bruges for beer bloggers conference end Aug) what would it be? I’m not looking for .rar or hyped stuff, just solid interesting things. Ideally not anything mentioned in the 100Belgian Beers as they’re already on my radar I would head to the Struise beer shop in Brugge and ask for Bart. I would buy a Cuvee Delphine or a Pannepot.
