You seem to miss out on Ghent…
Breweries: Brouwbar, DOK Brewing Co, and the more classic Gruut. Also Totem (top 10 best new breweries on RB couple years back, just like DOK, IIRC) where you could probably get a personal tour if you contact Klaas.
Working full time on weekdays, but maybe I could join you at one of the above for a beer, should you decide to do Ghent on saturday instead of Leuven.
Saturday is a bit complicated for us since my friend wants to meet the guy from Hops n More in Leuven as he distributes/imports Nova Runda beers. And in the evening we have to catch a train to Charleroi since we have an early flight back.
I’ve been to Ghent twice. Made it to DOK (which was great) and Brouwbar. Would like to come back sometime.
