Wow, I'm glad I lugged that home!


As you may already know, we stopped by Cantillon Brewery For anyone that is a beer lover, especially of Lambic style beers, this tour is a must when visiting Brussels. The process they use to make their beers is more like wine making, some of their beers taking up to 5 years to age in oak barrels. The taste is more bitter/sour, but very good and not as rich and sugary as the more corporate Lambics styles. The self-guided tour was excellent, we liked the tasting the best! At the end we decided to bring home 3 beers each, costing us about 11 bucks for each three pack. Last weekend I went to a bar that actually carried Cantillon (they have small distribution in the States), and I could have bought one bottle there for... 24 bucks! Holy Schmloley! Looks like I'm gonna be going back to Brussels with an empty suitcase!

You think Ed and Gnome actually haven't drank it all by now?
