14:30 Lunch stop before catching the Eurostar home. As noted in the description it was raining but the waiter managed to squeeze us in. I have been drinking regularly in Brussels for twenty years and this has become my firm favourite. It is atmospheric, the food is good, and the beer list always has something new.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brasserie Lefebvre - Hopus8.50ExcellentServed with the obligatory two glasses I choose to drink the beer first and had the yeast as a chaser.
De Ranke - Noir De Dottignies9.00ExcellentAnother taster.
Caracole - Nostradamus9.00GoodJust a taster of my mate's bottle. Very rich.
Wilderen - Kanunnik Tripel8.20GoodA four grain beer. Dry back taste but a bit cloying.
La Senne - Jambe-de-bois8.00GoodTaster. Unusual tripel. Cloudy spicy hoppy.
La Curtis - Curtis La Biere Liegoise8.00GoodMost unusual beer. This was off list as it is being assessed by the staff for future inclusion. Starts wit ends tripel. Served in a corked 37.5 cl bottle.

Website.

The pub is found in Brussels, Belgium, 1000.

Two level cafe opposite the Manneken De Pis. The theme in the pub is puppetry including some disconcerting life-sized mannequins. A number of costumes worn by the Manneken are on display. There is a a good collection of Belgian breweriana as well. The beer list is extensive and covers most Belgian styles. The list also changes regularly. The Spaghetti Bolognese is legendary. The only problem is the location, the Manneken attracts hordes and when it rains they flock into the bar for shelter and it quickly fills up.

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried them all.
