Euro Beer #14 - Brussels Skatepark

In the fall of 2007 my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. In Brussels:



Euro Beer #14 - Brussels Skatepark

Food and beer (and wine) was big part of our euro trip, but I also tried to squeeze in at least a few minutes of skateboarding in each city. Brussels has a skatepark pretty much in the dead center of town. It is small and not very interesting, but still fun. Before hitting the park we picked up some Jupilers and sandwich stuff. Jupiler ain't the best beer, but it is a good skate beer. Any maco beer in a tall can is a skate beer—basically, mostly water. And it washed down that crappy sandwich perfectly.

For more euro foodage and drinkage, go here.



Beer-n-sandwich-fueled mediocre skateboarding.



It was gloomy most of the time in Brussels, but it didn't bother us.

Twisted X Siesta



Keg collar label for Twisted X's Siesta just popped up on Beernews.org. I love a prickly pear, just hope this one is not going to be suupper sweet.

My worries apparently are for naught:
This is a new concept beer Tex Mex lager infused with real prickly pear - the color is definitely unique, but it's all beer with a light citrus back flavor (nothing sweet about this one) - coming soon !

Stock up for July 4th and beyond.

Beer and Skateboarding

Beer and Skateboarding are my two favorite things. I was gonna rip this off and do it myself, but then realized I probably can't do six tricks anymore. I got about three and I love em. Also, after two beers I couldn't ollie up a curb (maybe a small one). Ok before I lose you on this skate talk, watch this. Oh, and this is irresponsible drinking, but I'm ok with that. Sometimes:



I love Gravette.
