A quick beer in the early evening. Bar unusually quiet today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brasserie Minne - Ardenne Belle d’été | 6.00 | | From keg dispense. A full-bodied, strong, Belgian Witbier. |

A day of meetings in Brussels finishes in time for a couple of beers here ahead of the last Eurostar homeward bound of the evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Val-Dieu - Cuveé 800 | 6.00 | | A special beer to celebrate the Abbey’s 800th anniversary. It is pale gold in colour with a little spiciness. |
| Musketeers - Jack’s Precious IPA | 5.90 | | Hazy gold in colour. Smooth, with big fruity hop flavours. |

Late–afternoon. I stay in the Tap Room which is slightly less busy than the downstairs bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saint-Feuillien - Belgian Costal IPA | 6.00 | | 2017 edition of this beer. A big, golden, bitter, US-style IPA that still tastes distinctly Belgian. |
| Brasserie d'Achouffe - Cherry Chouffe Rouge | 8.00 | | A deep red-coloured beer with pink foam. Very strongly flavoured with cherry. Lovely. |
| Belgo Sapiens - Polarius | 5.00 | | Pale, golden and dry. A clean, pretty straightforward lager. |

Late-afternoon visit. The various bars all seem crowded today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brouwerij Huyghe - Delirium Nocternum | 8.50 | | Black with a creamy head. Rich and strong. |
| Sainte Helene - Simcoe Lager | 3.50 | | Pale hazy gold. Definitely a Lager, with very bitter hopping. |

Time for a swift one between meetings and train home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| De Ranke - Hop Harvest 2016 | 5.50 | | Hazy gold in colour. Some fresh hop flavours and more than a hint of spiciness in a very Belgian kind of way. |
18 Jul 2016 (Stephen Harris)
Time for one in here en route to the Eurostar terminal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Millevertus - La Bella Mere | 6.50 | | A hazy, golden beer. |

Late afternoon, breaking down time before an 8pm Eurostar departure. Pub quiet. All of Brussels is quiet actually.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Les 3 Fourquets - Lupulus Organicus | 8.50 | | A cloudy pale gold colour. Very tasty and refreshing. In the Abbey Triple style. |
| Brasserie Des Géants - Goliath | 9.00 | | A cloudy, pale gold colour. A spicy Triple. |

I’m back in Brussels on business for a couple of days, but again my agenda only allows for a very quick visit here. It is rammed in the mid-evening, but I get served quickly in the ground floor bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brasserie d'Achouffe - Chouffe Houblon Dobbelen IPA Triple | 9.00 | | On keg dispense. Luscious, strong, hoppy beer with distinctive Belgian yeast background flavour. |
14 Sep 2015 (Stephen Harris)
A three day business trip to Brussels, but this is my only pub visit. And it’s just a quick one before meeting some colleagues at a nearby restaurant. I give up queueing to be served in the Tap Room and descend to the basement for a large bottle of Saison all to myself.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brasserie Friart - St Feuillien Saison | 6.50 | | A very nice, authentic Belgian Saison with good hop flavours. This bottle is a ‘dry-hopped’ version of the beer. Interestingly, I don’t think it as good as some Saisons from, say, Brew by Numbers or One Mile End breweries in London. Perhaps English brewers will redefine Saisons in the way that US brewers redefined IPAs. |

16:00 My first visit since the complex of bars has developed from the original cellar bar. The ground floor draught only bar is now badged as the Delirium Tremens Pub. The place was reasonably quiet. Got talking to a fellow beer enthusiast from Oregon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silly - Cauwe Tripel | 8.00 | | |
| Rulles - 13th Anniversary Ale | 5.00 | | Bit lack lustre |

The pub is found in Brussels, Belgium, 1000.
Probably the best-known beer speciality pub in Brussels. It is situated a short walk from the Grand Place, in the miniscule Impasse Fidelite. Actually, the pub now forms part of the Delirium Village, which occupies the entire alleyway and has six or seven separate bars, with varying opening hours. At its heart is the original Café, which has a ground floor "Tap Room" featuring keg beers and the large basement bar which has up to 2,000 bottled beers in stock at any time. It is just the place to look for that obscure brewery bottle you have been seeking. The beer is supplemented by excellent cheese or cold meat platters. Often very busy.
We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 20 different beers and tried them all.
