Brasserie la Caracole
Rue de la Halle 6, 5000 Namur, 081.22.06 83
This is the smallest commercial brewery I've seen, making 400 liters at a time. Our guide was the business expert of the four-person partnership and the brewery is located in his wife's grandmother's garage.
At the moment all the beer they produce is sold at our guide's store, La Table de Wallonie (Place de Marche des Legumes, Namur), but the partnership has just signed to buy a bigger brewery in Ciney.
Three beers are made: an amber ale, a brown ale, and a white beer. The first two are category S beers, brewed with pale malt and various special malts.
Since the brewery has no lab facilities, they buy their yeast from a bank at Louvain-la-Neuve every time they brew; this adds $0.24 to the cost of every 75 cl bottle.
Brasserie de Silenrieux
Rue de Naupre, 5630 Silenrieux, 071.66.76 34, FAX 071.66.82

20 km South of Charleroi on the Franch Border, an experimental brewery using different grains.
L'Eblouissant.
27, rue Armee Grouchy, Namur. 081/73.71.39.
Confusion ? : In MJBC [pg 273] listed as at 108 Rue des Brasseurs, Namur, 081/22.69.28. A small cafe run by a very particular publican. Extensive beer selection, well cared for. Good meals during lunch, with food also available during dinner
La Cave de Wallonie (Bottle Shop).
6, rue de la Halle, Namur
Other Stores
Spice stores sometimes sell bitter (curacao) orange peel. It's hard and white, and bitter tasting. One such store is L'Herbier in Namur, around the corner from La Cave de Wallonie.
Don't forget the ordinary supermarkets. Most of them sell dark and light candy sugar in 1 lb boxes, and many have formidable beer selections, including local brews and glassware. Jereboams (3- liter bottles) are widely available, and the Sarma Star hypermarket outside of Namur must stock at least 100 beers--and the glasses.
Musee de la Biere (The Beer Museum).
19, rue de la Gare B/2, Lustin, on Route #947. 081/41.11.02
The exterior has hand-painted signs advertising over 1,000 Belgian beer glasses on exhibit, and God knows how many bottles, some of them dating from the 19th century.Admission is 35 francs, which can be applied to a purchase in the, er, gift shop. The gift shop features 11 beers on tap (including the formidable Liefmans' framboise), as well as a good 100-200 in bottles. The interior is crammed with shelves of bottles and glasses, and many of these will actually be of substantial interest to beer geeks. The cafe is also home to a tasting club, the Guilde des Tates-Biere, whose final exam is rumored to include identification of certain beers by year of production.
Lustin is south of Namur, on the Meuse river. The museum is open weekends and student holidays only, but special openings can be arranged for larger groups.
Brasserie la Binchoise
Faubourg St. Paul 38, B-7130 Binche, Belgium, 064/33.61.86
There are three people who work here, brewing beer in 1,500 liter batches. All their beers are category S beers in the Belgian system (ie above 1.062). This is without question my favorite Belgian brewery.
They make: Marie de Hongrie, a darkish brown, highly aromatic ale of 8.5 ABV containing pale malt, Munich malt, and a small quantity of torrified malt for coloring; Fakir, a slightly less strong but equally aromatic blonde ale; Ours (French for bear), using wild honey for 2/7 of its fermentables; Speciale de Paques, a stronger but thinner-bodied blonde for Easter; and my favorite, Speciale Noel (for Christmas), a rich, highly aromatic brown beer, and rather orangey.

De Hopduvel Brewery (Gent 091/25.20.68) {38}
De Hopduvel
10 Rokerelsstraat, 091/25.37.29
Specialty beer cafe also with many cheeses. This street runs perpendicular to one of the tram-lines, which runs along Martelaarslaan. Rokkerelstraat is a short street; the Bijlokevest is at the other end. Spacious, woody room, small bar-area, upstairs grill restaurant, and quite simply the nicest beergarden (beautifully landscaped) you will ever find. The front door is just like any other front door (in fact I walked past it and only realised where the entrance was when someone left the pub!)
Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant
(Het - Groentenmarkt 9, 091/25.06.80)
A fine alternative to the Hopduvel, and a bit closer to the center of town (right in it, in fact). After a thirsty day wandering through the the Gravensteen castle, admiring the old cathedrals and belfries, and seeing the big Vrijdagmarkt square area, the Waterhuis will slake your thirst with more than 100 well-chosen Belgian beers,including a substantial selection of 'streekbieren' (regional specialty beers).
De Dulle Griet
(on a square about 1-2 blocks E or ESE of the Groentenmarkt)
A tad more expensive than the Waterhuis but has a better selection IMHO. It is hard to miss - it says "Trappistenbier" in huge letters above the window, and has the emblems of the 6 Trappist breweries under this word.
General: impressive architecture. Town Hall has a tapestry collection

't Brugs Beertje
5 Kemelstraat, near Simon Stevin Plein, 050/33.96.16
A truly excellent bar that serves over 350 different beers in a convial environment. they will *never* serve a beer in the wrong glass, despite huge diversity of beers and glasses. [273]. In Brugge, the Beertje stands out, but there seems to be many more English speakers there (Americans and Brits) than there used to be. One tip, they have Hanssens Geuze and Kriek, but its not on their menu. Tut they care for the beer as well as any beer bar. They also have other treats in the cellar, be nice and ask whats special or rare thats not on the menu. The reason these beers are not on the menu is that they are of variable availability and they dont want to list beers that might not be in stock. The Beertje had a special beer brewed by De Gouden Boom makers of Brugges Tripple and Wit. Its not available but it was made from hand picked sloeberries, and blended barrel beers. An amazing pinkish/rose/champagne color, tart from the fruit with a hint of Brett. I tried my best to encourage Jaan to repeat this, he doesnt make a dime on it, so who knows...
Prior to WWI, Brugge had 31 breweries. Today there are two : Straffe Hendrik (translatable as Strong Henry), and De Gouden Boom (The Golden Tree). Time did not permit a visit to Straffe Hendrik, but I did get to spend a wonderful afternoon at De Gouden Boom. I was met at the brewery gates by Louis Van Reeth, De Gouden Boom's commercial director. He proved to be a very gracious host.

March is HOP SHOOT month so don't forget to try them someplace!!
There is a train that runs from Zaventem to Brussels' North, Central, and South stations every 15 minutes. The Central Station is very easy walking distance to the Grand Place, though it may not be immediately apparent how to get there. Ask directions or follow the crowd. For a six-hour visit the Grand Place is the place to go, both for density of interesting places and for the grandeur of the architecture
Cafe La Becasse
11 Rue Tabora (02/511.00.06)
Off a street on the lower end of the Place - head downhill in the direction of the Roy D'Espagne. Becasse has its own lambic; served in stone pitchers; it is very expensive; beers brewed by De Neve.
Cafe Mort Subite
Rue de Mantagne-aux_herbes Potageres 7, 02/513.13.18
By the national bank, not far from the Grand place. Mort Subite is geuze-oriented, and not as infested by tourists as one would expect. Nonsmoking area in the front! The name Mort Subit is derived from an old game played with dice that became so popular here that they changed the name of the cafe. The De Keersmaeker's beers also derive their name from this same dice game. I love this place, though unfortunately every smoker in Belgium is there on Saturday nights. Go through the Galleries de la Reine to get there (this is the long glass-covered arcade). While in the Galleries, stop at the Corne de la Toison D'Or shop to buy chocolates (theirs are better than the Neuhaus shop, also in the Galleries.)
De Ultieme Hallucinatie
Rue Royale 316, aka 316 Koningsstraat, 02/217.06.14
Sezeons and Art Nouveau specialty cafe north of city-centre near (north of) the Botanical Gardens. Beers are presented on individual serving trays, in their own unique glass, and with little cups of roasted nuts on the side. This is, unfortunately, far from the Place, in a neighborhood where cars frequently disappear.
Bierodrome
21 Place Ferdinand Cocq, 02/512.04.56
Jazz bar
The Newest Big Deal in Brussels is Beer Street
Yes, the name's in English!. It features 75 taps. It's also right downtown, I think in the Boulevard Anspach.
Several Lambic Cafes On Place Sainte Catherine
La Chaloupe d'Or on Grand Place
24-25 Grand' Place; B1000 02/511.41.61
Wide selection of beers. If I'm not mistaken, this is the place with three floors, offering a nice view from the top.
'T Spinnekopke
Place du Jardins aux Fleurs 1, 02/511.86.95 Fax: 02/513.24.97.
Historic pub in the south-central part of the city, and the place to go for Cantillon, the house gueuze-lambic here, also available in Kriek, Framboise, and Excellent food. Owner and chef, Jean Rodriguez, has put out a book with Paul Herman entitled "Cuisine facile a la biere" (Easy cooking with beer). This book and restaurant are a must for all those who love to cook with beer. 70+ beers are served here. Mon.-Fri. 11h00-23h30, Sat. 16h00-23h30.
Le Corbeau
Rue St. Michel 18, 02/219.52.46
Very close to the heart of town, and handy for the Rue Neuve
Falstaff
Rue Henri Maus 17, 02/511.87.89
Across from the south side of the Bourse on Rue Henri Maus. HUGE. Also very popular. At least fifty beers total, some on tap, some in the bottle. It is possible to sit outside all year round due to heating fans and canopy. Great turn of the century to Art Nouveau decor.
Cirio, Le
18 Rue de la Bourse, 02/512.13.95; B1000
Pub Bistro. On the opposite (north) side of the Bourse from the Falstaff, on the Rue de la Bourse. Older, more sedate, more than fifty beers available. Expensive.
Poechenellekelder
Rue de Chene 5, opposite Le Mannikin Pis
Huge candle wax buildup on the bar, they must have burned thousands, pretty reasonable beer selection and lots of puppets on display.
Fleur en Paper Dore', La
5 Rue des Alexiens; B1000 02/511.16.59
This one dates back to 1846, so historical is probably the appropriate adjective here. Good variety of beers, lots of art 'n' things the walls. Pleasant and quiet. Actually the beer selection isn't that great, but it's very cozy. The stuff on the walls is all surrealist, though you need a very good command of French (better in most cases than mine) to understand it.
Roy d'Espagne
1 Grand' Place; B1000
Pub. Big pub with a stuffed horse in the middle of the room. Middling good selection (32 beers), but avoid the Belle-Vue geuze-lambic served here. Nice atmosphere, expensive.
Rose Blanche
Grand Place
Has fewer beers than Roy d'Espagne but tends to be quieter. You can also get St. Feuillen in jereboams, nebachudnazzars, and bigger bottles. Bring a friend for those... :-)

Cafe with a large beer list (100+ bottles and very interesting selection - includes Drei Fontanen Geuze and Kriek), within a short walk of the Grand Place. The Drei Fontanen sells for 350 BF. A bit pricy. Just another reason to go to Beersel to drink this lambic.

Specialty beer cafe and brewpub
Moeder Lambic
Rue de Savoiestraat 68, St. Gillis 02/538.09.38
A smallish pub. 1100 different beers from all over the world. They also keep Belgian comic-books ('albums desinees', usually hard-bound) for your reading pleasure, an interesting way to improve your French
Moeder Lambic 2
Chaussee de Boondael 441 aka Boendaalse Steenweg 441
This one is way south of the city-centre. Take a bus (the 95 or 96), or a taxi if you're feeling flush. 55 beers on tap!
Le Pere Faro
Chausee d'Alsemberg 442, Uccle, 02/347.39.01
Take a tram down here; it's also a ways south of the city-centre. A reasonably large selection of beers (at least 100, probably more) awaits most clients of this small, humble, and rather funky little pub-cafe. The beer garden, in front, is surrounded by a wall; street access is through an iron gate. Another convenience is that this pub is on the same tram-line that will drop you off one block from the original Moeder Lambic pub (tram 55).
Le Jugement Dernier

Hotel des Epperoniers
Rue Des Eperonniers #1, 1000 Bruxelles, (02) 513 53 66
A low budget accomodation. I stay there when they have a spot, but it's often full, especially in high season. It's definitely no frills, but adequate for the traveller who doesn't require luxury. The best thing about is its location. It's about a 60 *second* walk from the Grand Place on Rue des Epperoniers, less than one minute from the Tourist Info Center (which actually had a list of all breweries in Belgium), and 3-4 minutes from the Central Station. You are really in the heart of Brussels for about BF 1000 per single, depending on the room. Continental breakfast is included. Prices are as of Spring 1995.
Hotel de Paris
Boulevard Poincare, 80, 1070 Bruxelles, Voice: 32-2-527 0920,
Fax: 32-2-523-8153
I recently discovered that the parents of one of my friends run an inexpensive hotel in the city. Let me make it clear that I have not seen the place, but the source is excellent. The hotel is described as clean, comfortable, NOT luxurious, inexpensive. The rate I heard was 1800 francs for a double, which would be a really good price indeed (1000 francs=$30) if it's current. Apparently it's a 15 minute walk from the center city.
