Brussels pubs

[Zonnebloem]

This fella has chosen some good pubs but the descriptions sometimes make me wonder if he has actually visited them himself.

Bécasse is in fact a woodcock, not a lark.

A la Mort Subite does not have anywhere near a hundred kinds of beer, only about 20 or so and it annoyed me that last time I was there they refused to bring the bottle with your beer. They just dumped a glass of beer on your table and you had to assume it was the one you asked for.

No 7, Poechenellekelder. I don't know where he saw some steep steps to go down into a puppet cellar when, despite its name which means cellar, you actually go UP stairs to the bar.


And he missed out this collection of bars that I linked to a while ago.

Nice pub crawl nonetheless.

Excellent. I'm going to Brussels next week (well Groot-Bijgaarden, not so far away). I'll see if I can persuade my colleagues into a few of these.

Another thing. A La Mort Subite is not the name of the brewery that supplies its beers. It is the name of A beer, brewed by the Alken-Maes brewery, named after a card game called sudden death.

You'd almost think that article came from the Daley Male, not the great Grauniad.

Shame, I always thought the Gaurdian was gospel...not some left wing shit rag ;)

Whereas the above picture symbolises the new pressure being exerted by Islam upon the Church of England. From the Mirrorgroup.

Really?

I thought it was just a photo of a footballer grabbing another by the nads?

Must read the Gaurdian more often.
