Back in Internaute net cafe.. sampling another strange brew – “Kriek” (pron. creek). I had this earlier today in the form of ice-cream. Yes, BEER ICE CREAM! I shit you not!! Belgium IS heaven on earth..
Anyway, it looks like red wine with a “head”. It’s fruit beer. Made from cherries I guess. It’s nice, but I’m scared the locals might know it as a chick drink hehehe I’m a fscking tourist, I have no cred here anyway hehehe
Here is the Kriek page above, translated to english with babelfish.
From the same cool site, bierebel.com, here’s the Chimay Rouge (Red) I tried the other night.
Ah yes, Kriek Boon!
There’s another one made from Raspberries – it’s ‘Kriek’ also – but not ‘Boon’. I’m pretty sure it ain’t a lady’s drink.
(Well I hope not anyway!!!) 😉
Hey! I thought you don’t read blogs!!
London has changed you my friend. I hardly know you anymore. *sob*
Stu, any plans to go to Hoegaarden?????
Hey dude!
Good to see your travels going well. Seriously jealous that your bike tour comes with such good beer. I was getting really sick of XXXX & VB. At least Sth Aust had Coopers everywhere. Mmmm… Coopers Stout…. Oops I’ve drooled on the keyboard….
Speaking of Hoegaarden.. 500ml for 2 euro!!!! FINALLY something that’s cheaper than Oz!!!
I was gonna go to St Quentin.. but it wasn’t really on the flight plan.. no idea where Hoegaarden is, but there’s heaps better beers here..
Mmm.. I’d like to say I miss my Coopers but that would be lying.. this place KILLS IT for beers!!!
Observes: The disadvantage of touring OS before touring Oz is that you know what good beer tastes like.
I will bring a support truck loaded with premium brews…
Hehe, I just added St. Quentin to my itenerary. I hope it isn’t a hole, or as the French would say, "un trou de merde".
I’ve going to save all my $2euro coins for belgium!
Yeah, you’ll need all the coins you can carry… just to take a piss!!!! :S
I nearly exploded internally today due to the lack of public toilets in Brussels!
