A fine trip. We met old friends and made new ones. While in Belgium we attended some very cool festivals, visited a number of breweries, and sampled the world’s most unique and special beers. Can’t say enough about England – beautiful countryside & cities, great culture, and wonderful public houses.
Below is a listing of the pubs, breweries, and festivals we visited. There’s a lot! Although it may seem all we did was sample the fine libations that Belgium and England have to offer, we spent much of each day hitting the museums and tourist sites, and walking – a lot of walking. Honest.
