For the beer lovers ...
we had an interesting & enjoyable program on Belgian TV about our beers: Tournée Générale. (French for a free round, a beer for everyone in the pub)
Jean Blaute , Belgian musician, and Ray Cokes (UK - welknown overhere from his MTV-London period) are traveling in an old Volkswagen van through the country and visiting some famous and less famous breweries. The language is a mixture of dutch and english but I found some Youtube vids with subtitling.
Ther are 10 episodes, each one of about 40 minutes i think. On Youtube you'll find them divided in parts. (I searched for 'Tournee Generale Beer')
Jean and Ray are performing with a certain sense of humour ...
These recordings were made some years ago, currently they're working on a second part that will be broadcasted in a few months.
Enjoy!

Too funny!
The Englishman: My mother told me to always wear clean underwear in case something bad happens to you(You need emergency medical care, etc.).
The Belgium man: my mother told me to always wear clean underwear in case something good happens to you(that encounter with a mysterious lady).:-) 🙂 🙂
I have tried Belgium beers and I found them to contain too much alcohol and have a strong taste. Most likely enjoying Belgium beers would be an acquired taste for me.
