So I have to resubmit a blog because I tried posting it and it didn't go through....
Anyways, so far Belgium has been great! (other than the internet)
I'm sitting down in the Delirium Cafe. It's very awkward considering where drinking at a bar that has 2,000 beers on tap!
We were able to visit the Cantillion Brewery today. That brewery was amazing! The open air fermentation was very cool, because they need to the spontaneous fermentation to gather the wild yeast and bacteria in the air native to the Senne Valley in Brussels. I thought it was cool to see the fermentation taking place in the opened barrels while we were taking the tour. The old machinery was even better to see because it was completely different from all the other breweries we visited in Germany. The lambic beers seemed to have become a social staple to the Belgians. While we were at Cantillion we were accompanied by several Americans, so I would assume they were also beer geeks as well. I am really enjoying the "scientific" art form of beers that the Belgians have produced. I am looking forward to the rest of the trip to really get my taste buds a whole new taste to experience.
ALOHAZ!!
