A different take on wine tasting, this time for the beer enthusiast. Having visited Bruges on numerous occasions and having enjoyed the likes of Duvel, Bruges Zot, Kwik-Kwak, Le Choufe plus many more of the easier to come by regulars like Leffe it was refreshing to see not only the line-up of Belgian 🇧🇪 beers but also a great selection of ales, beers, pale ales and lagers that you wouldn't ordinarily expect to see on the High Street, more like the High Strasse. A good selection of locally sourced and brewed beers and ales are also available 🍻 🍺.
It was laid out at the back of the bar for what I can only assume was for 'tasting evenings', a bit different. Interesting to know if this is the case, the cost and when they hold the evenings. If it's half as successful as O Chateau in Paris (Paris's rather high-end wine tasting in Central Paris) then it'll be a great hit. If they don't do beer tasting then the layout would certainly lend itself to it, maybe some cold meats, cheese and sausages to accompany a Belgian Trappist bierre.
They could do with putting a little more of their extensive range in the fridge, cold and ready to drink.
A nice take on an evening out with a difference. Why not throw in a video of the brewing process on the large TV 📺. Will certainly visit again and now know where to go for some of my favourite, not so easy to come by, bieres. Not cheap but worth it for the availability, range...

One of my weekly highlights is the Monday gaming group where a few friends catch up over a board game and of the many varied pours they have running. The draught selection is best in town in my estimation to say nothing of the hundreds of cans and bottles these guys stock regularly. I've yet to see a better curated bottle shop.
Even during current lockdown they are continuing to offer top shelf beers and bottles along with delivery. Thought I'd treat myself this weekend and ordered a mini-keg and a few imports and had they delivered to my door within hours.
Can't wait to get back to the storefront when this is all...
Read moreAmazing beer shop and bar - 300+ craft and real ales from all over the world and a great selection of top quality cider. If that was not enough, they serve draft beer to drink in and a considerable selection of their available beers and ciders are in fridges - so you can take out and drink as soon as you get home, or you can drink them there and then. Really nice, relaxed atmosphere when drinking in, quite a unique experience, not quite a shop and not quite a bar! Also great snacks to have with your beer. If you enjoy good ale or cider then you will...
