for our honeymoon we are going to london for a few days then jumping on a skandinavian cruise...first stop belgium. going to brugge and drink a ****load of awesome belgian beer. i dunno if you can tell but we love belgian beer haha...mostly all the trapist monk stuff, and chimay, and delerium.
besides alcohol? water.
DUDE, I just got back from a trip to Belgium that was mostly about beer. You should be able to find Westvleteren in some of the tourist beer shops (assuming it's legit and not counterfeit... who the hell knows.) I like lambics, so I was all about the Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen and Oude De Cam. If you can make it to Beersel, the 3 Fonteinen restaurant is really lovely. If you go to Brussels, go to A La Becasse, and Moeder Lambic, and Al La Mort Subite -- all great bars. Moeder Lambic is especially awesome. Also if you like lambics at all, the tour at Cantillon brewery is well worth the 6 Euro.
Have fun, and congrats!!!
(Also, whiskey muddle with blackberry and ginger ale sounds AMAZING. I may have to try that.)
