7. La moederation

Brewed for moeder lambic. Strong 8 %, slightly bitter and mildly hoppy. Super refreshing on a hot day.

Gueze plus raspberries added during year 2 of fermentation. Great aroma, not too sour. Light and easy to drink.

Other famous Belgian beers

Brown beer. Fantastic flavors and probably better than delirium tremens.

Strong, blond beer. Sneaky beer, smooth taste but can hit you hard.

The most popular beer in Bruges from De Halve Maan brewery is called Zot after all the drunk, crazy inhabitants of Bruges.
