So, slow week so far as far as being adventurous.  Really haven't found a bar, restaurant or club with a massive amount of what we would consider micro brews or off the menu type beers.

Hotel I am at does have Affligem on tap.   Not bad.  They also have a Hoegaarden and other European beers. I sit down and the bar tender is trying to get me to drink the Lagunitas IPA.  And this was after we talked and he knew I was an American and wanted to try something regional.  Last night a Dutch colleague I worked with in the states wanted to take me bowling.  He is proud of his skills.  I just wanted to get out and move around.  We go to the alley and he orders Budweiser.  I was going to order the Leffe Blond and he tells me that is what the teenage kids drink.  I get the Hoegaarden and he says that's much better. I've had plenty of both beers and Leffe isn't any different but I defer to my friend.

Truthfully the best beers I've had are the Affligem Tripel and the Hoegaarden Grand Cru.  I'm keeping my eyes open and taking suggestions but the locals aren't helping much.  This weekend will probably be slow but looks like first weekend of October will have more opportunities.
