Bruges beer tour

[Brussels Slumdog]

Depends on what kind of beer you like

I'm planning a trip with a few mates to celebrate our joint 40th birthdays and one of the suggestions near the top of the list is a beer tasting weekend in Bruges.

Is this the best Belgium city for a weekend in February? Any other suggestions? We've done Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam and Prague.

Yes as the town is small so you won't get lost plus all the Flemish speak English if you do get lost
if you get that p*ss*d

The above towns are all Lager drinkers 5%-6%
Most British real ales are 3%-5%
Belgian Beers range from 7%-11%
We have weak lagers like Maes, Stella and jupiler at 5% which are best drunk in volumn
or in summer

Why don't you apply for a 6 months contract in Belgium then you can taste a different one each day?

OK, I'm game.

uTorrent is doing it's do.

This is going to be another one of those "take a week to download and never get around to watching" things isn't it.

Download? I picked up the DVD for about £4
It's worth watching, serious subject but very well written and plenty of laughs

Me too, we're hoping to catch some midget filming too.

'In Bruges' is one of those rare gems that exceeded my expectations by some way, excellent film.

I'll be drinking 'gay beers'.

I think in the original screen play they were IRA terrorists on the run, but the movie was in turnaround for so long they had to change the script.

Pick up the DVD for a fiver in the discount bins.

Very Dark,
Very Violent,
Very, Very Funny.

Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

One of my favourite films. I cry with laughter every time I watch it.

It's the best in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and December.

But if you're after the booze, you'll find a better selection of beers in Brussels.

The prostitutes, also better in Brussels.

Have you seen "Intermission", I was told that Colin Farrell put up some of the money to get it made.

One gay beer for my gay friend, one normal beer for me because I am normal.

I'll be sticking to the gay beers i.e small measure in a fluted glass.
