While briefly in Brussels on business, I was able to take advantage of a beer festival held at the Grand-Place, the historical central square of the city. Booths were set up in the center of the square and there was an extensive variety of beers to taste. I initially visited the square in the post dawn hours, when workers were cleaning up the area after Saturday night’s festivities and then returned with friends on Sunday afternoon to sample some of the beers.

It looks like such great fun, love the photos.
Thanks, Charlie. It was a lot of fun–wonderful beer and a great place for people watching.
How was the beer? That dark one looked pretty tasty!
I must confess, Sue, that all of the beers there that I tasted were really good. Belgium has such a wide selection of beers for all tastes, though I had to be careful, since some of them have pretty high alcohol levels.
