Here are some pictures from our romantic Valentine's Day at Kroegske, a beer café in West Flanders. Believe it or not, it was actually romantic! The café was candle-lit and had a coal-burning stove, which I sat right next to. The decor was almost over-the-top with "brewerania", but not so much that it was tacky. The place was really warm and comfy and had hops hanging from the ceiling! We enjoyed a nice meal (traditional Belgian cuisine) with good beer. We also enjoyed chatting with the owner. What more can a girl ask for on Valentine's Day? Okay, maybe dinner at a 5-star Michelin rated restaurant with a vintage bottle of wine....OR....perhaps diamonds. Oh well, I guess I'm more of a beer-drinking pub grub kind of gal. Especially, when the beer and the grub are top-notch. Some girls love roses; I love hops....hey, it's a plant, right?
On a side note, I never thought I would describe myself as a beer-drinking kind of gal. Belgium has definitely had an effect on me. Have no fear, I still partake in my fair share of French wine. I haven't gone completely over the deep end!
