Day 19… Today we started off early with a bus ride to Bosteels, a brewery that brews kwak a beer with a very special shaped glass. It is said that the glass will kwak (splash) the beer at you, if drank too quickly. While on our tour we were able to taste three beers, one of which was served in a champagne glass and tasted like liquid currywurst. After our tour we loaded the bus again and went off to our second tour of the day at Liefmans. While on this tour we were able to see their old brewing facility along with the current place they brew. We also tasted three beers here, two of which were fruit flavored.
Day 20… Today we were off again, this time we trained our way to a brewery called Domus. Here we were given a tour of their facility which was quite small in comparison to the big breweries. We learned that they don’t bottle any of their beers. They also have a quite unique system for storing their beer, it’s in a dual tank where they put the beer in a plastic bag, similar to boxed wine, then in the tanks they apply pressure to the outside of the bag to get the beer out. After our tour we were able to taste a beer they call condomus, which is a pilsner. It is said to be “the safest beer you can drink”. Then we were given a couple hours to tour the city, which turned into walking around and looking at sites.
