Some information about the Trappist Breweries:
Our Trappist journey begins in Vleteren, Belgium at the St. Sixtus Abbey where we taste the Blond, 8, and the 12 beers of Westvleteren.
Chimay. The brewery produces three ales as well as a patersbier for the monks themselves which is occasionally sold as Chimay Gold; they are known as Trappist beers because they are made in a Trappist monastery. It was the first brewery to use the Trappist Ale designation on its labels.
Orval is the main brand. It is a 6.2% abv beer. It was first made in 1931, and has a complex and unusual flavor and aroma produced by a unique strain of yeast: Brettanomyces lambicus. The beer is light in color, slightly cloudy, and has a large, foamy head. There is a complex aroma of leather, spice, and many other earthy components.
Rochefort: Around fifteen monks live at Rochefort Abbey, where the first brewery was founded in 1595. The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls.Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops
Achel Brewery or Brouwerij der Sint-Benedictusabdij de Achelse Kluis is a Belgian Trappist brewery, and the smallest of the Belgian Trappist breweries. It is located in the Abbey of Saint Benedict in the Belgian municipality of Hamont-Achel. It brews six Trappist beers.
Westmalle Brewery (Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle) is a Trappist brewery in the Westmalle Abbey, Belgium. It produces three beers, designated as Trappist beer by the International Trappist Association. Westmalle Tripel is credited with being the first golden strong pale ale to use the term Tripel

A clippity-cloppity tour of Antwerp, Belgium, part 1 of 3
If you've ever wondered what it's like to tour Antwerp on a horse-drawn double-decker bus-like-thing called a trekpaardenomnibus (and who hasn't wondered that?) this video is for you. I did just that on 4 August 2009 (while on my way to see K's Choice a few days later in Hamont-Achel) and filmed the entire thing, apart from one pause when I needed to change the battery or something.
The tour was about forty minutes in total, and this is the first six minutes or so, completely unedited, because if I stabilised the image or added some kind of soundtrack you wouldn't get the full experience of touring Antwerp on a horse-drawn double-decker bus-like-thing. I have another video which is 28 minutes long, so I'll split that and upload it later.
If you want to do this for real, simply bring five euros to Antwerp's main square (the one that looks like the place at the start of this video) and look for the horse-drawn double-decker bus-like-thing, which may or may not have an ad for Palm Royale beer on it. Remember: don't drink and drive a horse-drawn double-decker bus-like-thing; give the 5 euros to the horse-drawn double-decker bus-like-thing driver and he'll drive for you.

Walking across the border
Going from the village of Budel-Schoot in the Netherlands to the town of Hamont in Belgium. The metal post marks where the boundary between the two countries is. The only other way to tell you're in a different country is by the absence of a pavement on the Belgian side!
