Give Us a Belgian Beer

It's been a while since we've plugged the virtues of Belgian beer, so we're going to tell you again: go to Belgium and drink beer! So often, travelers overlook little Belgium, but there's definitely something to drink there. This week at GoNomad an ode to Belgian beer came out, with good reason:

The Belgians can't claim to have invented beer, but they can claim to be the only country in the world where you can taste beer that it still made in the same way it was in Babylonian times.

On top of that, these beers (old and new) are often served in strangely shaped glasses or even come in unusual colors. Bars across Belgium routinely offer a huge range of good ol' ales, sometimes as many as 400 types of beer in one place. So if choosing your drink is a bit of a problem, just go with the GoNomad tips for Leffe Blonde or Bruges's Zot. Or (not that we'd encourage this, really) try a bit of everything.
