Many greetings from a Belgian student, where beer is the lifeblood of undergraduate life ;-) Clifford, I knew you where someone who understands the art of enjoying life before but now you’ve confirmed it once more!

Good luck getting postdocs (especially if you want them near good beer)! -cvj Well, I think that they are so good that paying the extra from time to time and then *really savouring* them as they go down makes them extra special…

I miss Leffe. (Misty-eyed look of remembering being introduced to it in Leuven, on a trip to give some lectures there.) Yes, Chimay is very good too. -cvj Ah…. I miss Leffe.

Finally a physics blog that posts something familiar! Duvel is the best beer in the world. I'm often astonished by what prices they go by in foreign countries. One bottle costs about $1.30 here in my local shop around the corner. I myself live in Bruges, known for its Brugse Tripel, and Brugse Zot (Brewery De Halve Maan). I prefer the Zot over the Tripel. Hoegaarden isn't my kind of beer. For a casual one, I enjoy Stella Artois, and for a heavier beer Duvel, or Leffe. Chimay is apparent to be very good, however I haven't had the luxury to taste them yet. I have also not yet had the pleasure to try West-Vleteren, which has won many awards as best beer of the world. This beer often goes at ridicoulus prices in the USA. It is brewed in my backyard actually, in the province of West-Vlaanderen, where I live. I hope to try it sometime. I'd send you a case, if only the costs of sending weren't so high :(. Aaah. Finally a physics blog that posts something familiar! Duvel is the best beer in the world.
