Message jonno beers 2750 º places 211 º 07:51 Tue 8/8/2017 This may seem pointless to some, but are there bars that serve Tankbier in Brussels, like Prague? I am thinking Stella or Jupiler etc. I would be curious to see if it improves ala Urquell... Any thoughts would be appreciated.

By tankbier you mean that it is stored and served out of large tanks of over several hundred liters, instead of kegs? It is a very common thing in Holland and I know Jupiler has plenty in Holland, so I would think they have similar setups in Belgium as well. Depends on the bar ofcourse, but any larger bar with a lot of output of pilsener, will probably serve out of tanks. Im not an expert on the subject though, as I never worked in a bar. But I know a lot of local bars that serve out of tanks, so I doubt they are an exception.
Message jonno beers 2750 º places 211 º 08:15 Tue 8/8/2017 Yes so it would be more select bars that do high volume, and get their tanks filled as fresh as possible. Preferably unpasteurized.

Message jonno beers 2750 º places 211 º 08:27 Tue 8/8/2017 Yes, correct. Sorry I should have said that initially.

Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 935 º 10:30 Tue 8/8/2017 Unfiltered Palm sold at certain location including in Brussels: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/palm-ongefilterd-draught/24117/ Brugse Zot is sold unfiltered at the brewery in Bruges. Occasionally at festival & bars in the past, this practice has been discontinued I believe. It is an improvement over the regular one. Unfiltered Stella Artois seems iffy to me, I question the Untappd entry a bit. I am surprised to hear about Jupiler being sold in giant tanks in the Netherlands, I don’t recall ever seeing that setup in Belgium. I have bothered seeking out Jupiler while in the Netherlands for obvious reasons.

Message JefVerstraete beers 7113 º places 216 º 02:52 Wed 8/9/2017 I know in the station of Leuven they used to have a 1000 liter tank of Stella. Also in Eeklo there is a bar advertising with tankbier. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/un2kqvqq
