Maybe it closed and has now re-opened under different ownership, owners who aren't keen for people to know which beers they could be spending their money on! It was very odd, they had beer fridges with black doors so you couldn't see what was inside. Got the impression you had to be 'in the know' and it was a definite locals place. Never mind, we had some beer to pass the time before the train back.tania_nexusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170308777551803844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627855943826479632.post-82758953338716539822012-02-13T22:17:11.000+00:002012-02-13T22:17:11.000+00:00Interesting, I hadn't heard of the scheme prio...Interesting, I hadn't heard of the scheme prior to going to Aalst, hadn't realised they "accredited" places outside of Beligum!tania_nexusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170308777551803844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2627855943826479632.post-63491496843415386232012-02-13T16:15:29.762+00:002012-02-13T16:15:29.762+00:00Interesting you mention both Bergenhof and Zevende...Interesting you mention both Bergenhof and Zevende Hemel in your report, both of these have been closed for over three years and both have not appeared in my online guides since then.

They have a rep come out about once a year and do a tasting day with aged Orval and usually Orval cheese too. It's great.<br /><br />NickBeerprolehttp://beerprole.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
