dogfish head had one called "golden showers" (which was discontinued because of the name). I wonder which one came first?

Sooo Davies, you were in Belgium recently? If so, i`m extremely jealous and I would like some details please!! That is like a beer mecca!! For me it`s one of those places you need to "visit before you die" kind of things.

yes, went to Bruges and Brussels... Bruges is very picturesque and Brussels is a cool city with some good record shops and great museums.
toured the Cantillon brewery after having tried it on MarcD's advice, we had a great time and lots of great beer!

Wow look at that thing. I want to say that its a fermenting vessel, but i`m not sure. The glass cylinders at the top looks to be fermentation locks ( which are valves that release gasses during fermentation, but don`t allow air in)

Edit: its on wheels? ....puzzling?

Nice davies! Good for you! Thanks for the pics.



As others have said, Belgium looks to be worth a visit some day soon. Their reputation for having the world's best beer and "In Bruges" certainly add to the allure.
