Budget weekend for beer trip report

We had some Thalys vouchers so a trip was planned. We stayed at the Alma Grand Place hotel, similar experiences to other reviewers and with AC, a super addition. Our focus was for beer, in Paris selection can be downright lousy and very expensive.



Beer Mania was a good place to start. Nice beer selection and the Mea Culpa was a lovely one to find. Visited Delirium and met a British expat with a clear vision on what we should try. Bring your own eats and enjoy thumbing through the list! Several other beer stores visited for glasses and etc. Bier Circus was closed and the Mort Subite was visited without the crowd of tourists it seemed.



We bought the majority of our souvenirs at the grocery store on Anspach. So much cheaper, even the Express Carrefour had the glasses and beer boxes at half what the speciality stores were selling.



I did manage some chocolate, Neuhaus is still reigning champion for me. And like my other post, a good steak. Enjoyed Brussels immensely!
