You can pair the beers with some charcuterie, cheese platters, or flatbreads. We decided to try the cheese platter and felt it was the perfect bite to complement our beer tasting. If you love beers and lambics come to Moedor when you are in Brussels!

You will find most everything here and if they don't have it, ask the bartender who can lead you. They have some great flatbread snacks and some other food items as well.

This is like going to Lambic beer nirvana. It's the barrel house and tasting room for the 3…read moreFonteinen brewery which makes some of the best sour beers in the world. The only problem is that because they bottle everything and mostly in 750 ml bottles, you either have to come with a bunch of friends, make a bunch of friends, be willing to pour out a terrifying amount of fantastic beer or only try a few things. There's a free tour of the barrel aging rooms most days if you ask. The Sunday I was there they opened at 1p and did the first tour at 2p, but the English tour wound up at 2:30p, which was all fine with me. I sat there and drank the fresh (flat) lambic, which was yummy but not as good as I'm used from 3F. I then moved onto the bottles where they have both recent and vintage/rare bottles to try. I had a few small bottles and fresh lambics on tap to myself and then met two other Americans and we shared 3-4 rare/vintage 750 ml bottles between us, which were amazing. My favorite was the Schaerbeek cherry kriek that was 10 years old. If you're in Brussels and like sour beers at all, I highly recommend the 20-minute train ride out on the S2 to come here. Just note the train only runs once an hour and there's a 7-minute walk once you're done.

It does come with bonafides, however, the owner having worked previously at Moeder Lambic. There are 18 constantly rotating draft beers, including at least one cask ale. These are pretty esoteric offering and it's unlikely you'll find many (if any) elsewhere. Not exclusively Belgian, recent offerings have included beers from micro-breweries in England, France, Sweden, and the U.S, (Jester King), plus la Vermontoise, a collaboration between Belgium's Brasserie de Blaugies and Hill Farmstead Brewery in Vermont.. They also have a fare selection of bottled beer and offer snacks such as cheese. The owner has two turntables inside and spins tunes when the mood strikes him. The sidewalk tables out front make for good alfresco drinking and eating..

A really awesome experience when you've just gotten off an overseas flight, let me tell you. He came over later and gave a half assed apology and luckily -- bc I have a shred of dignity-- I left, but goddam. It takes a true piece of shit to make a woman who doesn't know fluent Flemish/French language and whose directions may have gotten lost in translation feel like she just shat on Jesus' face.

No. Did I expect him to be maybe just a little bit less of a jerk, especially when he was simultaneously trying to pry my wallet open? It sure would've been nice.
