1. It’s full of amazing beer. Belgium is known for its trappist beers, which are made by monks and taste like a little sip of heaven. In Bruges you’ll find the Halve Maan Brewery, finely crafting local tipples Brugse Zot and Straffe Hendrik – the tripel is a potent treat.
2. It’s full of people who love amazing beer. The best kind of people.
3. It’s full of people who love drinking amazing beer in amazing pubs. Must see pubs are the lovely and old Staminee De Garre (try the house brew, mysteriously served with cheese…), the incredibly friendly ‘t Brugs Beertje, Bruges’ oldest drinking den Herberg Vlissinghe, the cavernous and candlelit Poatersgat, and the smoochy, romantic Cafe Rose Red.
4. It has canals. You can take boats on the canals and the tour guide will speak any language you fancy.
5. People live in houses like this.
6. They take chocolate and waffles extremely seriously. As do I.
7. They are also very keen on chips.

Gutted to have missed out on de Garre and it’s cheese – it was far too busy when I was there, so I’ll have to get back ASAP. I love their beer glasses too.
I love that they have a different glass for every beer too, really turns beer drinking into an art form.
Love that the first three have to do with beer.
I won’t lie, it was one of the deciding factors in choosing Belgium for a holiday. And the beer blew me away!
