We went on a managements strategy seminar/brewery tour to Ghent 🇧🇪 this week
Had a great time in this incredible city. Drank loads of good beers, visited a lot of amazing bars, and came home with a pocket full of good inspiration for our pub.
Travelling with Eurostar also allowed us to have a couple of hours in Brussels
Massive thanks to Head Brewmaster Joris at Huyghe Brewery in Melle for showing us around this magnificent brewery famous for its pink elephants
And a special thanks to Jason, Welsh expat in Merelbeke, who bought us around of beer when we first arrived. We decided to get off at this small village in the outskirts of Ghent to make the cab journey to our hotel faster, and we found Cafe Flandria which was the only bar in Merlebeke that was open. After ordering beers we discovered it was cash only which we did not have, and no cash machines in sight. So Jason kindly bought us a round of Jupiler 🙌
