    Brewery visits

    If you want to go out of England in other opportunities, I strongly suggest Des Halve Maan in Bruges, Cantillon in Brussels (both in Belgium), Heineken at Amsterdam and La Trappe in Tilburg (both in Netherlands).

    Belgian Beers to try?

    Westvleteren XII and Strafe Hendrick Heritage are two of the best beers I had ever tasted (the other is Founders KBS, but out of Belgian styles). Chimay, Westmalle, Rochefort and Duvel are also fantastic. Even Leffe has its value. But It´s hard to talk about Belgian Beer without remembering...

    Special w

    anybody used Special X malt 300 ebc

    I usually use Special B in my Belgian Dubbels, but this month I tried Special X, using 3,4% of my Grain bill (less than my usual 5% with Special B) . Before mashing, while tasting the malt, I thought it was too roasty, closer to a light Coffee malt than the usual deep toffee from Special B...
