Belgian beers

Sounds good, will need to try them. I am a fan of Belgium beers, but they can be deceptively strong.
I was in Ghent on business a few years back and I visited a well-known bar with a local engineer. The bars claim to fame was that it had the biggest selection of beers in the country. I decide to go for the half-yard glass of 14% dark ale brewed by Belgium monks, the glass came supported in a wooden frame. Before the beer was handed over the barman asked me to deposit one of my shoes in a basket, which was then hoisted up to the ceiling and padlocked, the reason being was that they had, had quite a few of these glasses and frames stolen.
The ale went down very nicely and I did not feel the effect until I was looking down in the restroom seeing I was minus a shoe, which was a bit confusing.

Scrub the Belgian Beer Cafe. They've had to close. I think Erik and his wife found it difficult to meet the overheads through the low season. Great pity.

The beer in the wooden frame is called Kwak and you could buy it at Lost Café and at the Beira.
Had many a good session with this, and is always good for a laugh when watching the first timers when the airlock bursts in the bubble and they end up wearing it.

I'm working in Belgium right now. I had a beer here in 2004 and could never get it out of my mind since. Blaanch Hacht. I'm still looking for it.
