Europe trip - June 15th - 28th

Is this itinerary final?

I would say you could definitely reduce your time in Brussels. Yes there are some great beer venues there, but you can take them all in in two days - one if you’re aggressive. Or are you planning to do some trips in Belgium outside of Brussels?

I don’t really have much feedback except for what’s been said already, but I’m most certainly in for some Akkurat sharing if/when you make it to Stockholm.

Appreciate the concern with the tight schedule, but we are pros!

I’m used to one night stands with cities....while we won’t get into the underbelly of Prague/Copenhagen, I will be happy to get a taste.

Mind you all, the wife is with me....and will not be allowing me to spend the trip at the bottom of a glass. Ha!

We certainly plan on spending time outside of Brussels while in Belgium...and virtually all of Norway is on her accord, since thats where her ancestry is...and Midsummers Eve will be spent kayaking.

We have rented bikes for Prague and plan on working our way around town...appreciate the suggestions!

Copenhagen is open for that day...and are thinking about hitting some tourist traps before dinner/beers. Open to must-see stops. Desverger, shoot me a message...love to have a beer!

Stockholm will allow me one big beer day...and Akkurat has been on my radar for a long time. Nische, I would love for you to join us! (I’m hoping _angst_ Alex can join in too)

Sorry, fine folks in the UK, I hit you on my last trip...although, I love the region and hope to come back! Leighton - our meeting at Three Floyds was all too brief, would love to share beers sometime! Theydon- I have some Cloudwater headed my way next week....still, would love drink from the source at some point and share a beer as well!


Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming!

Cheers.

I have not biked in Prague, but I wouldnt consider it that bike friendly (but maybe it changed in recent years). I guess it depends where you want to bike around. In the historic center a lot of streets have cobble stones, and the most interesting streets are pedestrian only (as far as I saw). Also there are quite a few hills (like the one where the castle is located). Also bike infrastracture did not look that inviting (but again, maybe that changed recently). Public transport is quite good though, and gets your everywhere where you want to go very fast. Unless you are set on biking around, I think public transport would be the better alternative.

I would rather suggest you get a bike in Copenhagen, since the infrastructure and everything is amazing there..

There’s definitely better cities to cycle in than Prague in your itinerary (to be honest, every single one except Brussels, which is especially nightmarish). Also consider that Prague is especially swarming with tourists in the summertime, making the streets quite crowded so you’ll spend an unnecessary amount of time dismounting and ringing your bell. Amsterdam and Copenhagen are the easiest and safiest cities to get around on two wheels of the places you’re visiting.

We are crushing this itinerary!

Met up with Mike (bytemesis) in Brussels and killed some lambic! Nice to finally share some beers after many trades!

Great side trips to Anderlecht, Beersal and Bruges.

Prague was worth the day trip! E-bike tour made the 10 mile tour effortless! Great views of the city and the monestary had surprisingly good beer.

Copenhagen had waaay too many beers. Haha! Great stop at Koelschip for Bokkeryder. Great staff that chatted us up heavily. Himmeriget was pricey, but had a killer list!

Time for some nature across Norway!

Would love to meet up with folks at Akkurat on the 27th, if anybody is interested in sharing bottles.....shoot me a message!

Cheers!

Norway has been great! Tons of great adventures in the fjords. Kayaking was sublime.

About to head out to Stockholm in the morning....figured I would give this one last bump to see if anyone else would like to join us at Akkurat on Tuesday the 27th?

I think one ratebeerian is joining us so far, but the more the merrier!

I’m in southern Sweden with work during the day on Tuesday, but if I make it back in reasonable time I’ll gladly have a few beers with you!

Awesome, message sent!

Would be nice to share a beer, Viktor!
