Now that I'm working, it is exactly that same industry that brings me here. Nonetheless, it does have some good tourism and also serves the beer-enthusiast quite well. There's also a good tram link that runs the width of the center, so if you visit one too many places, you can still get right back to the train station. If you've been reading a while, you've probably guessed that the Kulminator cafe is my favorite. It has the best selection of any cafe, anywhere, that we've visited to date.
Classical music is the background.
This is the home cafe of De Objectieve Bierproevers. Peter Crombeq, BTW, is the Prez. You can join OBP here for 600 BeF if you're so inclined. Membership includes a subscription to the quarterly journal and you can participate in activities like brewery tours, the weekend of Spontaneous yeasting, the 24 hours of Belgian Beer, etc. Jackson makes mention of De Pelgrom on Pelgrimstraat.
