For me obviously nothing much in the brewing sense but I will be in the next few days in Belgium so at least some good beer after these few months.
Didn't like that much Spanish beer, but the craft beer scene here starts to pick up and they have some nice refreshing IPAs and other ale styles (the commercial beer was nearly undrinkable). Similar in Portugal, but the craft scene isn't that big.
I didn't had single beer that I would consider talking that much about in France, the blonde just isn't for me.
thanks for the travel beer log! I was always curious about the craft beer scene in Spain and Portugal, but never had the chance to go out and see for myself. seems like I'm not missing much, though.
if you're headed to the Netherlands afterwards by any chance, I can recommend Uiltje and Jopenkerk in Haarlem, they have pretty good stuff. Jopenkerk also had a gruit at one point, not sure if they still make it.
Yeah, I changed my plans again few weeks ago.
I met someone that I promised to show her the beer culture in CZ, so I am taking train from Brussels to Czech to meet her there in few weeks. I will skip the German/Netherlands part.
But the craft beer scene is, according to people I talked to, biggest around Barcelona. Sometimes you just randomly find some place like NASA brewery in Pontevedra (I liked it, really nice place).
