A bit over a year ago we were at St Bernardus. It was our 6th brewery in three days and like the others, it wasn't what I'd envisioned a Belgian brewery to be before embarking on this highly anticipated pilgrimage.
It was a modern building of concrete and glass complete with a parking garage underneath and an elevator. Sitting surrounded by gently rolling fields of hops and other crops - it was a monument to St Bernardus beer.
We had a delicious meal, a couple of beers, and in between corraling our granddaughters, we gazed at Flanders fields on a perfect day.
Recently, I drank the St Bernardus core beers and their taste was enhanced by my memories.
The 6,8,9,12 all were delicious. I even had a jar of pâté bought at the gift shop there. I'd thought to round out the evening with the Abt Christmas beer but alas I didn't have one! THAT will be remedied!
Lol the drinking session above was a few weeks ago. Tonight the remedy.
I've got bacon wrapped scallops in the oven and I'm counting down the last days of 2022 eating and drinking like there's no consequence.
