Beer in Belgium is like Ouzo in Greece. There is a great variety to choose from and they all come in their distinctive glassware. Trappist and Abbey, ales, stout... all are available so don't miss your chance!
Ghent is a small city just half an hour away from Brussels. It has a small medieval castle to visit and it is quite pleasant to walk by the canals. Visit the city museum and try some Belgian beer before coming home!
