Antwerpen

On Thursday we left Düsseldorf (and Germany) and headed for Belgium. We had a problem in Dordrecht where the train to Antwerp was late and then changed tracks without an announcement, so we got in a bit later than expected.

Antwerpen Central train station. The prettiest in Europe (that I've seen)

The Kulminator -- the center of the beer universe for many beer geeks.

Our blind Triple tasting

The results. I am sad to say we didn't do very well. Triple Moine was the favorite

Eight years of Chimay waiting for us (1994 - 2008)

All lined up and ready to drink.

The just released Rodenbach Vintage 2007. Yummy.
