    Beautiful episode. This series seems that it may be one for the UA-cam ages.Not to mention beer and biking are pretty much the perfect combo. I hope that blue bike shirt is auctioned off when this adventure is done...

      Josh Hallman T.G.I.Falcon! Dude, the blue shirt is washed, folded, and ready for the auction. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll make my money back on it, those things are pricey. #beerbike

    Congratulations Peter on winning the Travel Video Award for Best Travel Series! This is such a great series! Not sure I could make that 550 mile trek! And I didn't wouldn't do well assembling a bike after such a long flight... my wheel would probably fall off :)

    • @PeterBragiel
      @PeterBragiel  5 років тому

      Thanks Chris! With your enthusiasm and optimism I'm sure you'd manage just fine after a long flight. I gotta say it was quite the challenge though and we experienced a bit of technical difficulties with our bike pedal shortly after assembly :)

    Even in Belgium Westvleteren beers are hard to find. Cost 20 euros in bars in Brussels. When they have some.

    Hi Peter, I have just watched the entire series in one sitting. I have previously visited Belgium: Brussels, Ghent, and Brugge and was curious about the beers. You have not only changed my mind about the country but also educated me as well; excellent show. Thank you so much.

    Amazing, if only you had more time to visit Ghent and pass Bruges on the way as well. But then again you've seen Belgium in another unique way. Very excited to see the second episode!

    • @PeterBragiel
      @PeterBragiel  6 років тому +3

      Ghent is a world class city. Wish we could've spent an entire day there. It had such a cool vibe. But at least we had the opportunity to spend a night there. Will definitely encourage people to visit.

    Ok i might be slightly biased as being from Bruges ( West Flanders) but Westvleteren 12 is the best beer in the world and combining this with biking ... well this is a match made in heaven :) I'm actually looking forward to bike there again straight from my home and back the moment it will be possible again. Meanwhile i am enjoying your nice videos. Proost.

    Great video!
    Westvleteren 12 can be considered the best beer in the world by some beer lovers, but it doesn’t reach it’s peak unless it’s been aged for at least 3 years, or up to five years. Since you had fresh bottles of the 12 at In De Vrede, you didn’t actually experience the best beer in the world at it’s optimum.

    1 minute and 10 seconds: "Greatest beer in the world good? I don't know." "It's so different" "Wild".
    What a waste of time. Only 9 minutes of mine, much more of yours.
