During my 8 months in Zagreb, I was enjoying the great beer, Karlovačko, trying to avoid Ožujsko, and having a few Pans here and there. Beer selection in Zagreb was limited but local brews were available during my travels throughout the region. In Serbia I became a fan of Lav, in Montenegro it was nikšičko but now, I'm in Brussels for 5 weeks and thoroughly looking forward to sampling the expertise of the Belgian brewers and the variety of beers they have to offer. I'm seeking to experience as many of these beers as possible and chronicle this adventure on this blog. My initial goal was 50 beers, then I realized this meant 10 new beers a week. While I'm sure I could handle this, I'm actually here to work so 25 is a much more reasonable goal :-) Check out the blog for updates from my stay and feel free to leave comments or suggestions about your favorite Belgian beers.

Brugge Tripel

Brugge Tripel was another beer enjoyed in the park on this same lovely day.
This tripel is 8.7% ABV and come from de Gouden Boom brewery, but I couldn't find a website for them. The beer is made in Brugge and one of the most well known products of the city. It has a malty and bitter flavor that hits right on the tip of your tongue. It's not nearly as sweet as other tripels but does get sweeter in the after taste. It was hard to judge the look or aroma in the bottle, but overall this beer left a good impression. I would recommend giving it a try and will definitely try it from the glass next time.
