Cheers Olha; hope you are enjoying la belgique! As for the kwak, i think it’s really drunk without picking up the stand, i’ve seen people do both but even after many many kwaks i never really figured it out..!

Hi!! Thank you for your last comment – it’s so timely particularly becuase I am just reading it in Belgium – as well as revisiting all your Belgium related posts for inspiration. Last night I had the Kwak -with less dramatic effect, but I really did not know wheather I should take the glass flute out of its wooden base to take a sip or hold it together – like you have it here. Great insight ;)
Cheers,
Olha

This has such a nice feel to it… I like the hint of blue wash in the background.

What, that’s shocking! In Belgium (in charleroi at least) they won’t serve you the beer if they don’t have the glass, or if all the glasses are being used. It just doesn’t taste the same from a bottle.
Kwak is gooood. But my favourite is Charles Quint. Best beer in Belgium. Introduced to me by a huge sailor from Antwerp in this self-same pub, who told me even he wouldn’t drink more than a couple without a bit of caution. And always have it with some spiced cheese.

mmm, i like Kwak. Although our local ‘beer pub’ in edinburgh doesn’t serve it in the proper glasses cos too many of them were getting nicked. Boo.
