Also what frustrates me about the British is that they stick to one beer for like an hour. Belgians drink aprox 4 pints an hour. Normally that means if you enter a bar at 11 o’clock in the evening, apart from the bartender and some new-age alcohol-haters you won’t meet anyone sober. If you stick to one beer for an hour, every beer tastes like urine!!! Ohh, and another big mistake. Tourist usually order half a liter of beer. Don’t. Order small beers, they are much tastier. Especially this time of the year your beer will became warm and bugs will be swimming in it. I like my beers ice cold, even the ones which should not be put in the fridge like Duvel or Westmalle. I always put them in the freezer for a while. That’s my humble opinion ofcourse, most beer-specialist will think I’m nuts however warm beer is disgusting.

I stick to a beer for so long because it is impossible to get it at home so I appreciate it while I am able. It is Ok for Belgians to drink so much because they have access to those beers all the time and don’t view them the same way. And I just order beers which are poured from the bottle, a 33cl measure like Sloeber and have one in a night then I can appreciate the taste. You don’t appreciate the taste of beer if you’ve had a different one immediately before it. I could not drink a heavy chilled dark, chilling Rochefort 10 is sacriledge in my opinion 😀
