And for the beer lover who likes to drink at home every once in a while, this is where the Malting Pot comes in. Apart from a nice selection of great Belgian beers, they offer beers of some of the best foreign brewers: BrewDog, Mikkeller, De Molen, Flying Dog, To Øl... As you would expect here, you'll get excellent advice if you would need any. Price tags are often missing from the shelves, but the owner knows them all by heart, so that isn't much of a problem.

I love a place which can offer you not only some of the best products but also the best deals around. If you're looking to treat yourself to an expensive bottle, then you'll find what you are looking for here as easily as you will a great bargain for no more than 10/12euros. Everyone can leave happy. The place is also treasure trove for some of the rarer spirits, including an excellent range of whiskeys. I've come here in the past to purchase the Belgian Owl whiskey and Cantillon beer, both hard to get. A Belgian raised in Australia, Miguel (Mig) sure knows a good deal when he sees one and is always happy to share on his best opportunities, just ask. I'd urge anyone interested to sign up to the mailing lists and track the website for the latest deals and wine tasting events.

A great selection of Belgian and foreign beers, sold at a correct price, and a knowledgable owner…read moreto help you make your choice: what more would you want? Apparently something Belgians even didn't know they wanted: growlers! These huge glass bottles (1,89 l = 64 U.S. fl oz) decorated with the awesome Malt Attacks logo is intended to be used and reused over and over again. Growlers can be filled with any of the two beers available at the filling station, always one Belgian and one foreign beer. After filling, the beer should be able to able to keep for a couple of weeks, but I don't really see that happening in my home... ;) Although you can't actually consume beer in the store -- it's not a bar, after all --there apparently is a room for tastings, so I'm waiting for some public beer tastings to be announced! :)

I've been trying to become a bit more conservative in giving out 5 stars these days but I've…read moredecided Malt Attacks gets a 5 star for the following reasons: 1. Location, location, location: located just a few minutes walk from the St. Gilles market area, this is in a hot spot. Did I mention it's within walking distance from where I live? I think that might just make it even better! 2. Variety: There are tons of different selections of beers offered! Both craft and well known beers from all over the world are represented. Of course there are Belgian beers as well but the focus is more on international and different style beers (tons of IPAs, for example). So many choices are available that you can't get all that you want in one trip...but I guess that's what keeps you coming back! 3. Service: Owner is super friendly and helpful in helping you select your beer(s). If you give him an idea of what you will like, he is more than glad to help you select different beers. Additionally, soon, you will be able to "brew your own beer" by adding ingredients you like to create your own beer that will be brewed at the location. How cool is that?? 4. Price: Although price is unarguably high, you have to keep in mind he sources his beers from all over the world and shipping costs alone are high and, well, you get what you pay for. I must admit I'm not a huge beer fan myself but my boyfriend is and I'm excited to spoil him with a beer every once in a while from Malt Attacks! He literally was like a kid in front of a candy shop when he first noticed this place when we walked by and had a huge smile on his face for the rest of the day!
