Going to Belgium!

Recommended Posts

I'm taking a small group of folks to Belgium next month for a sampling of the local flavor. Funny thing is, I've never been to Belgium!! I have a pretty good itinerary set in place with all the usual suspects in Antwerp, Brugge, Brussels and Ghent but I need some insight on the lesser known beer bars, restaurants and food treasures in those places. I'm a chef at a microbrewery/restaurant so our goal is to have a complete beer and food experience while staying off the beaten trail and avoiding tourist traps when possible.

So, I'm looking for suggestions. Any and all will do.

Thanks, and I promise I'll be a better eG'er in the future!

My boyfriend and I went to Belgium last fall... I'll try and give you some information later, when I have some time to put together information.

In the meantime, you should definitely check this page on Ratebeer - it was our resource for our trip.

And you MUST go to Kulminator in Antwerp. Try and bring a bottle or two of American beer for the owner. He (usually?) will give you something in exchange.

Edit:

You can also check BeerFly on BeerAdvocate.com, though it seems you need an account to see the results.
