I’m not a big drinker by any means but beer has played a significant role in my travels over the years.

There’s been a couple of trips to Germany with beer as the primary focus and a trip to Belgium where it also played a big part. Then there are the brewery tours. I’ve been on countless tours, mostly in the United States but I’ve also been on many in others countries like Albania, Belgium, Denmark, Holland & Scotland (and probably a few more that I just can’t remember at the moment).

What is it about beer that makes it so interesting? Let’s see. First of all it comes in so many different varieties which definitely makes it fun to try out. The second and probably even more important thing about beer (when traveling) is the social aspect.

Over the years beer has played an important role in many of my trips. I’ve visited and taken tours of quite a few breweries and have also had few beercenteric trips.

Beer Tasting in Bruges, Belgium

Trip Reports, ,

While on a trip to Belgium my brother and I wanted to try as many beers as possible. In many bars, the beer menu is the size of a book. It can be really hard to decide which beers to try but the waiters are usually happy to give suggestions.

Some of the beers could be pricey so we thought of a plan to order one beer at a time & share them. (This way we would always have a cold beer & could maximize our beer tastings.)
