After the dumpy Disneyland Paris, Bruges was a welcome relief. It looks like a mini-Amsterdam, with small canals, swans, and gabled architecture. Except the beer is much better in Bruges than in Amsterdam! I honestly had no idea I was going to like it so much, and was pissed that I'd spent so many days at Disneyland instead of spending more time here.
De Halve Maan is the charming brewery I visited, where I drank the Straffe Hendrik Quad (11% alcohol!).

2be is the place where I had the "strong" beer sampler, which also came with cheese, some sort of cracker mix, and some sausages. Incredible view of the canals on their deck outside.

Staminee De Garre is the alley bar with the world-famous house Tripel that is only served there - you can't get it anywhere else in the world! Totally worth the trip. Good lucking finding the place, though; I knew where it was and it still took me 30 minutes of searching!
