It looks like they've got some interesting glassware over there. Liter mugs are the best.

Belgium is very interesting for glassware. Pretty much every beer you drink comes in different glassware. The bars are filled with glasses. Germany it's pretty much 1 liter and 1/2 liter glasses. Locals seem to usually go with the 1/2 liter glasses.

You should be banned from this site. All you do is make us jealous and mad. All kidding aside, love reading your posts.

Only 1 more day to go. I can tell from the crowds that I'm happy i'm not here for Octoberfest. Visited a great beer garden in the English Gardens(Seehaus) and one that was not so great. When I get home I'm having a big fat IPA.

Nothing to do with beer but I've now used Uber twice in Europe. Once in Brussels and once in Munich. Both times it's been about 1/4 the price of a cab and the app worked great. Germany is trying to ban it and I can see why the cab drivers hate it.

Finally back home. I thought I'd post some other beer pics I took while I was there.

Trip to Cantillon. Open air fermenting.

I thought I'd try out the outdoor pisser right downtown Bruges

Non Beer stuff

Not big on selfies but I like the background. This is at the top of Zugspitze.

Speaking of selfies, Americans are not the only ones who love the duckface look. This is at the top of the Olympic tower in Munich.

This looks slow but it was pretty fast and fun
