The Belgians are so cool...

I remember being told in High School that they fought the Nazis on bicycles. That is tough.

I'm dicovering that their beer making is superior as well. Each time I drink their beer I am late rising in the morning. ;)

Word up for Belgium! I'm from Holland myself, but I grew up in a part of Holland that is attached to Belgium and not to the rest of Holland (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen) and I've always liked Belgium more than Holland. One day, I will move to Gent. The people are nicer, they speak Dutch far more beautiful than we do (we fuck up our language, I always think) and yes, their beer is magnificent (as for us, we're famous for Heineken... Heineken!  :'(). And this new fact about the bicycle thing, I'm not surprised. Humour, poetry, beer, art, music, no matter what, the Belgians are good at it. Hoezee!  :)

I second Otter's endorsement of their beer...kudos!

Hey, thx people

As a belgian myself, it's nice to hear that.  Concerning fighting the germans on bycicles, well could be, but don't get the wrong idea that our people fought the germans on bycicles (it would be a funny picture though), but there was in fact a lot of resistance here in belgium.  Even my grandfather was a member of the resistance.(but he never fought the germans on his bike, though). Concerning the beer, well we are the only country in the world (I think) that has over more than 800 different beers. So if you guys come over here, let the divine fluid please your tongue.

Last Friday I noticed again how good your beers are... There's this pub called "België" (Belgium, that is) here in Utrecht where they have approximately 150 different Belgian beers. I drank about 10, including really heavy ones. I had one hell of an evening, and a massive hangover on Saturday... Yes, the Belgians are cool!  :)

10 beers?  Damn!  I'd still be feeling that today...ouch!

That's like a 10 course dinner.

If any of you all are ever in the DC area The Brickskeller has an amazing beer selection. They have over 1072 different beers. Here's the list http://www.thebrickskeller.net.futuresite.register.com/_wsn/page3.html

That's, like, Peter Tosh tough!


Do love me some Stella Artois...  And Delerium...  That's Belgian isn't it??  I'll tell you one thing, it fucks you up differently than other beers!!  I was hearing shit and seeing trails..  haha it was good fun!

I love and miss my Belgian girl...  I haven't talked to her in years.  :(  Now I wish I had a beer.

Yeah alcohol can surely derange us all!  ;D.
And yes indeed nothing above stella artois!!!

I'm a Belgian girl but i don't really like the beer. Sometimes I drink a Leffe Blonde or Kriek and that's it. But I love our chocolate, I'm addicted to it ;D.

[Oz]

Ooh, yeah, the chocolate! How could I have forgotten that? Amazing...

Leffe Blond is one fine beer, by the way.

I don't know if all Belgians are cool, but I sure am.  ;)

It was about time to put this topic at the top of the list again.
