Bennylux Revisited

Some of you may remember the now legendary Bennylux tour of July 2003, when the Cobweb Eyes hit Belgium and its beer stocks quite heavily.

Belgians like their frys.....

Bloody hell Tim. I never realised you were so short. That beer we were drinking that time was indeed on the strong side!

Duval beer does that to you. Three bottles of that stuff and I can't remember my own name....hic!

That's why most of us were in wheelchairs by the time the photo was taken, of course. Our pub holders know how to pamper their customers. I'm still sorry there weren't any left for you, Tim.:D

Something to do with the RFH title of the Perfect Kiss, I think. Or my ability to spend 27 hours a day here and still do my job !

Primarily because the beer we were drinking in Beveren was a bit on the strong side ! When are you back over here ? Gig to be arranged.....

A gig would be excellent matey.

Anytime in February Tim.

If I'm not wrong, the bottles on the picture are bottles of "De Koninck" beer (a local beer called "bolleke" in Antwerp). Not that strong actually, although I can imagine that it is for you British people :D...

Someone talked about Duvel beer. That's indeed a strong one , yet not to be seen on the picture.

Think they were Leffe blonde actually - that's what Karen and Jan were drinking. I was between the Duvel and the deep blue sea ;) - the glass in the far right was something else that began with a W.

Whisky?

No, that's Westmalle - a trappist beer (that is, a type of beer that is brewed in a handful of abbeys only) that exists in dark & blond variations. But on the night just about any glass was used to give us our fill :)

Glad you remembered what it was called Jan !

of course I abstained ...

Good choice, trapist beers are the best beers in the world.

Why are you all in wheelchairs?
