Enjoy - Belgium is a fabulous country, especially the Flanders region.

Can't go wrong for beers but my particular faves are Delerium Tremens, Kwaremont (with it's brilliant, cycling-themed glass!) and Chimay Blue.

I’d have loved to do all four but unfortunately not been able to do any of them

Will be in Belgium next weekend for F1 grand prix, would have been great if Genk game was a week later, could have tied it all in together.

Doing Genk and Betis. Bit more notice I would have done Benfica too but Mainz flights are too expensive.

I looked at Mainz but as you say the prices were just too high

I was tempted to do a massive road trip. Would have been a good tour to test the european supercharger network out.

I'm absolutely gutted Spa is the week after, not that I have tickets for Spa but I'd have done my best to get one had the stars aligned.

Are you in Brussels tomorrow evening? If so have you planned where you’re drinking? We’re going to head to Beer Capital. Cheers

I cycled to Mainz last year as part of a Rhine trip. Would have attempted it again for this match if the ferry price from Harwich to the Hook wasn’t so expensive.
