Belgium - The Recap

Meeting Matt, drinking the world's highest rated beer, eating lunch at De Heeren, drinking spontaneously fermented beers at their home in Brussels, acquainting ourselves with Todd the Mental Beaver, working our way through Kulminator's amazing vintage list, surviving driving in southern Belgium semi-unscathed and meeting Fantôme's brewer are just a few of the reasons that the our time in Belgium was far and above the best few weeks of our lives.
