They made me getting a dwarf into the plane

Being in Belgium 🇧🇪 many things are different. Not only the metric system but as well the shopping at the airport is one of this little things that make Europe and especially Belgium a different place on earth.

Dwarfs and rockets

Tintin is all around the this kind of rockets are all known from all the comic books.

The rocket from Tintin is a fictional spacecraft featured in "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon," comic books created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.

It's a red and white checkered rocket that became an iconic symbol of the Tintin series. The spacecraft is known for its realistic and detailed design, inspired by the space exploration technology and knowledge available during the 1950s. Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, and other characters use the rocket for their adventurous journey to the Moon, encountering various challenges along the way.

Why Belgium beers

Belgian beers are a delightful symphony of flavors, boasting a richness and diversity that’s a testament to the country's esteemed brewing heritage. Each sip reveals a meticulous craft, from the robust Trappist ales, brewed in monasteries with a heavenly touch, to the playful and refreshing notes of fruity Lambics. There's a poetic balance in each glass, where traditional methods meet innovation, resulting in a mesmerizing dance of aromas and tastes. Every pour is a journey through Belgium’s culture, a cherished experience that lingers, urging the soul to explore the myriad expressions of Belgian brews.

The dwarf

Finally, after all the magic this beer dwarfs did to me, ended up at on of the shops to add a different dwarf to my luggage.

The dwarf at La Chouffe is emblematic, an endearing symbol of the enchanting Belgian brew that steals the hearts of beer aficionados globally.

With his cheery demeanor and iconic red cap, he embodies the spirit of the Ardennes, where mystical forests and spirited landscapes give birth to this cherished ale.

Every sip of La Chouffe is like an intimate dialogue with this whimsical dwarf, revealing notes of spices and fruits that dance gracefully on the palate. Perfect for any #BeerSatursay. He's not just a mascot, but a guardian of the secret blend that makes every bottle of La Chouffe a magical journey into the heart of Belgian brewing artistry.

They even have nice bottle opener if you may forgot yours or if you need a different present for friends.

Now, that dwarf in a bottle travels for some
Days of work and some days of beach life to the sunny city of #Barcelona. Maybe we do a quick meetup in that lovely city.






Have a great day everybody
and let us travel the world again

I totally understand the "challenges" you faced on your way to the gate. What a beer and chocolate heaven this country is. I've crossed it twice but both times didn't have the time to stay. And budget actually cause the airbnb around there is among the most expensive I've ever seen. Besides, I can always try the more reasonably priced Germany (except fuel) and explore it this way. Next time ;)
Enjoy the Belgian goodies!

There is NO wine on those pictures. Belgium serves beer in bottles like wine.

I will have this meeting with that dwarf at the beach this evening. Let's see if I
manage to get the dwarf into the fridge for some time to give him a "cool down" after his long travel from Belgium.

Hey @Detlev
I'm working on a beer related project.
Would you have some time to meet in Barcelona Monday or Tuesday?
I'd love to share it with you and get your insights.

I would love this so much. We stay until Friday in town - close by.

Let me check whenever we plan to go to Barcelona this week for meetings and a bit shopping. Tuesday looks promising.

Feel invited to Malgart de Mar any of this days.

I'm actually north of town, towards Malgrat de Mar, so it would be easier for me to drive there instead of meeting in town. I leave for Portugal Tuesday evening so let me know if today or monday would work for you to meet in Malgrat.

I think that with just getting a step into Brussels and breath it's air you can easily get drunk 😂 (jk). Thanks for sharing your experience and really nice pictures with us. Cheers 🍻
