Bier!: Day 5

I have never had so much beer in my life. Wait, thats a lie. Hehe rugby...whoops.

My belgian friend took me to a small little local family bar on the banks of the river here. It was one of those bars where everyone knows your name...literally.

So after being introduced to everyone as the american, I settled into the serious bussiness of belgian beer drinking. At 1pm in the afternoon. The great thing about small bars like this is that everyone has some comment to make, and as I drank beer after beer they filled me in on details and small facts about each one. Unfortuantly, I can barely remember the beers I drank much less any details. But I will try my best.

Duvel
Mystic Kriek
Cavar (sp)
and...some other ones that i cant remember

I also had some traditional belgian bar food. Yummy cheese dipped in mustard, and these fried meat things made from pork. It was as if someone put meat into a food processor untill it had the same texture as melted cheese and then decided to fry it. It was sickeningly good.

The bar patrons joked that I was eating and drinking myself down the menu. It was true I guess.

After that bar we went to another...and then another...and then another. I think I passed out around 10pm. It was a good day.
