De Halve Maan


This is the only Brewery left in the city. A working brewery. The hour long tour was very, very informative and kept me on my toes. Only because we were warned that we'd have to get through over 250 steps for the duration of the tour. Half of them probably upwards, which didn't seem like a lot but the brewery is old. Old, old old, it's been around since 1856. The interesting part of the steps were ones that were so narrow that you'd have to climb down backwards. Some of the people on the tour didn't want to listen and tried to go down sideways... not a good idea.

Meanwhile, I learnt that beers with the 'triple' label is the best, although it has the largest percentage of alcohol among the beers. After the tour, everyone gets a glass of beer. If you wanted to have the triple, you could request for it. Beer is sooooooooooooo cheap in Brugge. This one comes straight from the barrel and probably cost them 50c.

Cheap beer

While wandering around in a supermarket, beer aisle. It's less than one euro a can. Amazing isn't it? Sometimes when people say that beer is cheaper than water, it's so true.
