One of my friends is a fan of Belgian beer and suggested that we have a long weekend there for a beer trip (or p**s up as us British put it) and was looking for any suggestions. There will be four or five of us going.
We have narrowed down the city to visit to be either Antwerp or Ghent depending on if we get the ferry or the train. I suggested Ghent as that is the cheapest and easiest to get to by train from where I live in the UK. The others want to go to Antwerp because they have stopped there before on the way to the Ocktoberfest last year.
Any suggestions for good bars / beers and places to stay preferably withing walking distance of Sint-Pieters station?
BTW Duvel, Hoegaarden, Leffe and Vedett are commonly available in the UK in most bars and clubs so we have tried them. Duvel - nice beer but can't have too many of them. My friend has developed a taste for it but after eight bottles he's too drunk to walk. Maybe suggest something that isn't quite as strong...
