Leuven and Antwerp are decent towns and Brussels Grand Place is a great square for a beer

Duvel wants a word pal. 

Belgium is top drawer.  Had a mate at the European College at Bruges in the 90s and went to euro 2000 there.  

Ghent Antwerp Bruges and Brussels all excellent.  V underrated and beats Holland for me

I'll tell you what's a bad idea, drinking a few pints of Duvel in the Belfort in Bruges and then climbing up that tower.

(Braces for another In Bruges joke)

Worcester is my home, still go back when I can, will pop in there next time.

He does some good grub too! Copenhagen Street

I’ve had 4 or 5 Saturday afternoon sessions in there over the past 18 months since a mate told me about it.  The chips are boss after a few beers, they do some very good beer too, even had bottles of de garre on a couple occasions which I’ve never seen anywhere other than the pub in Bruges who it’s brewed for (Staminee De Garre, if you find yourself in Bruges, worth a visit)

When in Ostend you really must go to the De Zeeguezen,a proper Belgian boozer.
And don't forget Begian mussels.

True of all the Low Countries after WWII.  Watch The Black Book - brilliant film on the very subject

I know exactly why you like that film, you bad biff.

Ghent a fantastic city - as per Manc’s comments.

There’s one pub that’s the only place in the world that sells their home brewed triple beer. They reckon it’s about 14.5% and you can only buy three small glasses.

I had 2 small glasses and that’s probably why I don’t remember it’s name, the pub, or getting home

It’s named after a massive church bell as that’s how your head feels the next day.
