Westmalle Brewery

We were planning to go to Brussels today, but trough a series of unfortunate events, were unable to make it.  Instead, we went to a local brewery, the Westmalle brewery.

We woke up a bit early (9 AM), in order to have enough time to catch a train to Brussels.  Unfortunately, searching for a wallet that was left in Rotterdam forced us to leave the house quite late.  We ended up getting out around 11:00 - 11:30 AM.  My Aunt drove us to the nearby train station in Brecht, where we hoped to grab a train to Antwerp.  However, the next train to Brussels left at 2 PM, which was way too late, so we decided to go to the Westmalle brewery instead.

Since it's a monastery, the brewery was inaccessible to the public.  However, there was a place to eat across the street from it

Their signature beer is a mix of half Westmalle Trippel and half Westmalle Dubbel

The restaurant

After eating, we went for a beautiful walk around the fields near the monastery

 After finishing our tour, we returned to the house, had a long dinner and headed to bed.
