Belgium (Day 81 – 84)
October 3 – Day 81
We arrived in Brussels a little bit late, after missing our train from Amsterdam. When we got to our accommodation, there was no-one there (I had said we would arrive in the morning). 20 minutes later, we were let in to the beautiful B&B we stayed in.
Tasted – Gulden Draak
After a month and a half of travelling around Europe, I have tasted a beer I couldn’t help reviewing 
Brewed: Extra Strong Bitter MKII
Today I brewed batch 18 – the second version of my Extra Strong Bitter. I had planned for it to be almost identical to the last one, however a few of the ingredients from last time were not available, so I think it will be a significantly different beer.
Tasted: Ten20 Commemorative Ale
I saw and bought a case of Ten20 a few weeks ago when it came on sale. The Camperdown brewery has been used by James Squire for ten years, and Chuck Hahn, the head brewer, has been there for 20 years, hence the name “Ten20″. The brewers call it a mix between an IPA and a Barley Wine.
Brewed: Oatmeal Stout
Today, I brewed an Oatmeal Stout. It was a really smooth brew day, everything went right.
I used a different base malt than I usually do – Munich I Malt. I also used Caraaroma instead of Crystal, and of course, this brew included oats!
