Sunny Belgium


An absolutely gorgeous day in Belgium today. T-shirt weather. As with any place with somewhat sketchy weather, when it is good, people are out. Today was no exception. We took the in laws who must be obeyed to Durbuy to enjoy the weather. Per usual the weather brought out the crowds. Still, it was not bad and we scored an excellent parking spot. We spent a bit of time wandering around and then headed back home to relax and spend their last day.

Whilst in Durbuy I tried a Diekirch Grand Cru. This beer is not actually Belgian but from Luxembourg. Hopefully this is not what we can expect from other beers from Luxembourg because frankly, it was not very good. I know I am becomming a hopeless beer snob, but with the competition this beer has less than 2 hours drive away, you would think it would be better. The Diekirch is very much like a pilsner but thin. A little like an Amstel light. A little hop, a little crisp but no depth, no complexity. Two Drunk Monks.
