This is the final installment of Beer Consultant Evan Kaye's and Chris Brower's Belgian Beer Blog series. Enjoy!

Our  last day in Belgium was spent in the beautiful town of Bruges. We toured the Halve Maan Brewery and sampled some of their beers. This is a small family brewery and produces some great ales. We met with Xavier Vanneste took us on a tour of the brewery. Their brewery has been recently modernized to improve quality and consistency of their product, but much of the tour also focused on the past. Many of the historical elements of the brewery are still in place on display. We had lunch and sampled Zot Blonde and Tripel. Following the tour we took a boat ride around the town via its canals and then had a few hours to explore the town on our own.

We were on a mission to find what one guy in our group had described as the best pizza he ever had in his life. The problem was he did not know where the restaurant is or what it was named—he thought it was called the Beer Café. He told us the pizza had its crust made with Orval, Chimay was in the sauce and four beer cheeses topped it off. After a few hours of walking around town and going up and down side streets, we gave up and headed back to the pub to meet the rest of our group. While in the pub a few of us ran out to do some last minute shopping—there is chocolatier here who is one of the 3 chocolatiers mentioned in the world famous Michelin Guide. So we stopped to get some chocolate and gifts for loved ones and on the way back to the pub we saw a place called the Beer Bistro. It looked like what our buddy, who was now sitting in the pub, described to us.

I ran to look at the menu and saw the exact beer pizza that he told us about and went inside to order one to go. I was told they do not do to-go orders and they did not even have a box for us. That didn’t stop us. One of the guys from Florida happened to have some ziplock bags in his backpack that he used to put his phone in when it rained. So the four of us who were there each had a slice and stuffed the two remaining slices into the ziplock bag to bring to our friend at the pub.
