Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If you enjoy travel, you’ve likely heard of Rick Steves’ Europe travel series. His travel videos appear on most PBS stations. In today’s Seattle Times, Steves has a column extolling the virtues of Belgian Beer entitled Beer makes Belgium blossom. Nice to see a celebration of Belgian beer from so mainstream a source (and thanks to Doug for sending me the link).

Share and Enjoy:
