I have an article in the October/November issue of Celebrator Beer News called “Five Fabulous Meals with Belgian Beer” which you can read for free here

Photo, above: a superb meal at Improvisio, Leuven. Paired with Vicaris Winter ale 2012.

The Oct/Nov issue of Celebrator is always the “Beer and Food” issue.

White Asparagus topped with egg salad at Les Brigittines, Brussels. Paired with Brasserie de la Senne’s excellent Taras Boulba.

Photo, above: a great meal at Brasserie Het Anker, Mechelen. The beer is Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor.

I cover Improvisio, a great restaurant in Leuven; Brasserie Het Anker, the restaurant/taproom of Brouwerij Het Anker; the fine Les Brigittines in Brussels; La Gourmandise, the top spot in the town of Rochefort for food and beer; and, stateside, Ebenezer’s pub in Lovell, Maine.
