Belgium in November: Day 3 - Antwerp

[reverendjim]

Right, that was Brussels done, now on to Antwerp. So, left the nice flat and got the train for about an hour to a new city and new drinking opportunities. Or such was the plan. The reality didn't quite work out, due to problems with the day, and date.

Ah yes, that was the one that tasted of dead clowns. What? Must be why I was wearing the skull and crossbones. (BTW, did not know that Abt/Abbot=Quadrupel. Such a bad education!)

[reverendjim]

Well, yeah, style names are a bit meaningless anyway, but that seems to be the thing at the moment. Ratebeer seem to indicate they consider them to be slightly different but still put them in the same category (Abt/Quadrupel

Quads are suddenly all the rage in the US, where I've tried one by Hale's, purchased another by someone like Great Divide or Avery, and seen two or three others. Don't think any have called themselves Abts, but now that I know the connection I will look more closely.

Yeah, I didn't recognize that photo from Paters at first, because I couldn't see the storm. That certainly was a lovely place to sit while it was wet and windy outside.

"Worth missing the lesbians' changing room for"

Must have been good.

er, I think that might have been me.

No, really?

[reverendjim]

Hm, maybe it wasn't that good. And it's a damn poor lesbians' changing room you can't bring a fine beer to whilst admiring the view.

Oh, and well done with quoting something from the very end of the posting. Makes it actually look like you've read the whole thing. Clever.

Very impressed by the rain in the last picture. And the fact that I said something vaguely meaningful about beer. Good thing you wrote it down.

I just scrolled down until I found lesbians.
