Andre's Travels

[johan]

Just a thread to force @Andre to post pics of Brussels during his business trip. I believe you know its BIG beer exhibitions and taste events this time of the year in that region. Although you're not a piss-cat (like moi), just try an Orval beer (at least 2 years old) and let me know . Bon Voyage.

Yip, and not tools taken along this time - just 2 Grands and a Mini with juices.

Went for supper to my favourite little place earlier. Mostly frequented by locals, serving a good mix of French and Flemish dishes. And some good wine. Of course, for the first time looked at their beer menu. Quite a selection, and found @johan's Orval on there. But, alas, not in stock. The quest will continue.

Ag nee, what a pity, hope you had a nice wine.

Thanks, @Tom. In Belgium sale of nic is banned. They have a few vape shops (0 mg jooses), but really no good selection. Looked if I could find any good, big vape shops in Paris or Amsterdam, but could not find any. Vapers House is just too far away to be worth it and the Dutch one seems to be online only - their physical address is actually in Germany.

Thanks, looks promising, but am I reading correctly that their shop hours are only from 12:00 to 17:00 and only from Mondays to Fridays?

Got the pics from my cell to the laptop. Here you go.

Charles de Gaulle airport, waiting for the fast train to Brussels:

On the fast train to Brussels:

Found @johan's Orval beer at our hotel's bar. Bottled 15/02/2015. Alc is 6.2 %. Best before 15/02/2020!. Actually not to bad for a non beer drinker- a nice sweeter taste going in, with the bitter on the after taste. Checked it out on Google: Limited production by Trappist Monks in Belgium. Only 15 % of production exported.

Thanks @Andre, awesome photo shoot of Reo exploring a part of Europe. You have good taste buds, the description of Orval is spot on.

Not many shops around in the netherlands. There is one in amsterdam, maastricht and some other city's but mostly aimed for the starters. Starter kits and basic juices the rest is sold online. People won't drive 30 min to visit a shop if they can order online.

Enjoy your trip!

Ps: Smuggle me some real cheese back to south africa miss that stuff so much here.
