Tipping the Tankard in Belgium

By Linda Tancs

The oft-quoted comment that beer is proof that God loves us is often attributed (erroneously) to U.S. founding father Ben Franklin.  Nonetheless, it’s a sentiment heartily espoused in Belgium, particularly during Belgian Beer Weekend on the Grand Place.  Taking place from 3 to 5 September, the event features some 240 kinds of Belgian beer.  Surely you’ll find something to suit your palate among the pils, amber, white, trappist, abbey, geuze, fruit, strong pale, strong brown, red-brown, regional or assorted sundries.  Cheers!
