Bruges, like all of Belgium, has an impressive number of beer houses, terraces and shops. Also, the Wall of Beer is a shrine to the product, in manner of Verona’s (fictitious) house of Juliet.
These beers are brewed strong (7-8%) which, judging by the merriment of some tourists, is not always advertised. There is also fruit beer available, kinder on the liver at 2-3% and super-tasty.
