Message Mjollnir beers 536 º places 12 º 04:04 Wed 5/19/2010 I hope it’s better than the ones we’ve got in Australia. All five taps are InBev to start with.

Message eManu beers 573 º places 43 º 02:10 Fri 5/21/2010 There are 2 Belgium Beer Cafe in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and a third one to open soon, and another Belgium cafe to open there also. Singapore will have a Delirium Cafe to open soon.
Message TimE P beers 8459 º places 409 º 02:23 Fri 5/21/2010 We have lots of Belgian beer bars in Tokyo. I can’t count how many Delirium or Belgian Beer Cafes, but enough. They are all OK, but honestly I can’t get that excited about them. They certainly have a chain restaurant type feel. The beer is always OK, but those places would never get rare beers or something from the smaller breweries. Good concept for cities that don’t have Belgian Beer bars and good for getting people interested in Belgian beer, but these places are not for beer geeks. Tim

Good concept for cities that don’t have Belgian Beer bars and good for getting people interested in Belgian beer, but these places are not for beer geeks. Tim At the Shanghai 2010 World Exposition, more than 20 Belgian beers from 10 different brewers are served at the Belgian Beer Café (BBC). The Café will also promote the rich Belgian cuisine in an authentic Belgian pub setting. The 20 beers will be supplied by 10 different brewers: AB InBev, Bosteels, Chimay, De Halve Maan, Silly, Duvel Moortgat, Huyghe, Saint-Feuillin, Van Honsebrouck, and Verhaeghe. Smaller breweries are definitely present. And also the availability of the majority of Trappist beers at many Belgian beer cafes. I visited the one in Latvia (Bon Vivant)a month back. I had some Rochefort 10’s. Without this bar, there would be ZERO Belgian beer in Latvia ! Cheers, Filip

Message eManu beers 573 º places 43 º 03:25 Fri 5/21/2010 eManu 298:32 I love the idea to see Belgian beer bars opeining in place with names like "Mohammed sultan road" when in Belgium there are Mosques opeining here and there, and now Beer places opeining where Mosques used to be. In Kuala Lumpur, I know a few good (for Malaysian standards) beer places next to Mosques. Shut, dont tell anyone but I am about to open a Belgian beer place in Kuala Lumpur that will sell only non-inbv.

People who use Ratebeer to find their beer would end up in Shanghai at Kaiba, which has far more than 20 Belgian beers from more than 10 brewers and DOES have Trappist ale in the proper glassware. Oh - and will still be open next year. Using some other site to find the best beer is like admitting you want to fail. Fail on, suckers!
