Galerie Bortier

8.4/10 — Setting 10 Selection 8 Service 8 Food Value 8 Overall 8

Absolutely gorgeous mid-19th century building, phenomenal. Newly revamped as a food court by the Wolf food market people. Located right next to central sation, the location houses a bar with 2 or 3 beers from BXL craft breweries, La Mule, De La Senne, L’Ermitage, Jungle etc. They were out of the two Jungle beers but still plenty of choice, two sizes available, kudos on putting local craft beer on tap here and not something macro. Some food places nearby Italian, Syrian etc. but didn’t try them, some quite cool book stores remain here still inside which was the previous focus. Awesome attention to the area near central station.

ZIGZAG

8.4/10 — Setting 8 Selection 8 Service 9 Food Value 9 Overall 8

Near Park Spoor Noord overlooking part of the park from the terrace. Comfy dark wood classical bar interior, not big but spacious with a nice terrace. Payconiq or cash payments but this was due to a temporary technical issue, seasoned no nonsense service, great. 5 taps of which two were down, Den Herberg Tripel, Petrus sour and Bavik, previously a homebrew was also on but they were out. Sizable NA selection, menu is quite a few Drie Musketers with trappist classics, Petrus, some local breweries, Dupont, De La Senne, nothing too rare but all good beers at good prices, quality spot.

Caulier Taproom & Shop

7.8/10 — Setting 8 Selection 8 Service 8 Food Value 8 Overall 7

I love how behind the gate next to the brewery there is also a tank station, some real Belgian shit. Shop with bottles and cans of experimental releases (wasn’t even aware of this). Regular beers, 5 taps including regular and experimental beers (which were neither experimental nor that good). There’s also merch and you can get growlers and drink inside, no real proper seating but there were tables outside and the place was quite popular. Not my favorite brewery but bonus points for having continuously changing giving a bonus to the visit.

6.4/10 — Setting 8 Selection 5 Service 6 Food Value 6 Overall 7

Located near where the weekly market takes place, it’s a gorgeous square and beautiful terrace. Lots of history here, only place still serving “applebollen” on “verloren maandag” which they bake themselves, owner working decades, old interior etc. The beers are the common ones however, mainly old people drinking Stella, Bolleke etc. The Westmalle Triple which I got was room temperature which is not good at nearly 30 °C, sucks but still respect the age.

Le Terroir des Trolls

8.2/10 — Setting 8 Selection 9 Service 8 Food Value 8 Overall 8

The Dubuisson store, big with everything you can want from Dubuisson. The core range, gift packs, party kegs, good prices too but also vegetable spreads from their own farm, like 8 types of foie gras, cheese (made at Dupont but with their beer), underwear, socks, the vegetable spreads were quite expensive ‘though. Wouldn’t know what to expect more from a Dubuisson store, good stop and the brewpub / taproom is across the street.

Brasserie Trolls & Bush

7.6/10 — Setting 8 Selection 7 Service 7 Food Value 8 Overall 8

Across the road from the shop, this place is gorgeous on the outside, classical chateau look with a pond, there’s even a troll statue. You can drive up and park here, entering it feels almost like entering an amusement park. Inside is quite busy and bit chaotic, served quickly. Selection is similar to another Troll brewpub that I visited, core range and seemingly the same brewpub specials which are not on level with the regular brewery, coctails and food, you can get their strong beers with Picon (potent) and pours from the BA beers. It didn’t have much extra over the other location which I visited. I expected a touch extra, I suppose but it’s good. Downside is the payment system which is combined with another shop point, only one register for the massive place leading to confusion and waiting times.
