Too hot...

It is simply too hot to do anything, especially for us folks living in Belgium who are not used to temperatures of 35°C or more!  We are probably experiencing the hottest day of the year today, and it certainly does not feel very comfortable to sit in front of the computer and blog.... Did you know that Grimbergen, which is the name of a town in Belgium, has the fist abbey beer museum in the world - and more importantly it has a room for tasting the beer.  Lots of other interesting things to visit in Grimbergen...an abbey and basilica... Wish all of you wherever you are could taste this deliciously refreshing Grimbergen!

  1. Ja, is het een keer mooi weer, wordt het weer te heet. Zou wel een biertje lusten.

  2. zo een Grimbergen bij warm weer is niet goed, het stijgt bij mij te rap naar mijn hoofd. Ik ga het maar bij het bloggen houden en af en toe een emmer water over mij en de hond kappen

  3. We have cooled down somewhat in Seattle -- thankfully, but I could still enjoy a Grimbergen! Hope you've had a great weekend, Anni! Stay cool!

  4. Belgian beer is my favourite. Unfortunately, it's way too expensive here, so I drink German (which surprisingly is cheaper than Canadian beer!). :)

    1. I will tell a friend in the US, he is exporting beer to other side of the Atlantic, he might see a business op there :)

  7. Praticamente impossibile stare davanti al pc, o trascorso la giornata in alta montagna ma il rientro è stato orribile per l'afa. Deve essere bellissima questa città del Belgio, ed è molto invitante il bicchiere di birra. Buona serata.

  11. Well done! This photo looks so refreshing! We have a shelf full of specialty glasses from our two years in Belgium but I have to admit I have not heard of this beer.

  12. I don't really like Grimbergen. I prefer Leffe.
