Flea
market day… but more fleas than anything. Being unimpressed with the offerings,
we head off to meet Jeremy and his wife at Cantillon.
If you're in the area, it's a worthwhile stop. It's not only a working brewery,
but a lambic museum as well… spiders and all!
Back at the B&B, I visit a little with Pierre and agree to meet later that
night at one of his favorite bars. After dinner at Falstaff, where the service
was slow but the food was excellent, I deposit my dad in the room and head off
to the bar a short walk

the room.
The beer brewed for the bar was quite nice… very light but tasty. A short
while latter Pierre and his friend John arrive. A couple more beers and then
Pierre ask his friend behind the bar if he has 'anything interesting'. He returns
with a Cantillon Vigneronne made with Muscat grapes. On inspection of the label
we find it's a

1987…Very
tasty! ){kind=small}
We
agree on a Rosé de Gambrinus for the final beer of the night and it too
is a 1987! No wanting to push our luck and it being 2:00am, we call it a night
and head home.
