This may be the case in 2013 but there is talk in my group of a 4 week trip in July to Belgium to work on a few special projects. A month in Belgium sounds terrible, doesn&#8217;t it? As with most trips, I try to visit other countries either before or after the work part happens. In the past year, it has been an explosion of traffic. Despite a record December, my unique visitors for January are projected at 30% higher than December. Emails, comments and connections continue to be made through this blog and I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p>Travel Schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>February 22nd: BOS &#8211; Brussels<\/li>\n<li>February 23rd &amp; 24th: Brussels (Touring Cantillon &amp; 3 Fonteinen and drinking with fellow RateBeer Users)<\/li>\n<li>February 26th: (Day trip to Amsterdam for work meetings)<\/li>\n<li>February 25th &#8211; 28th: Gent (Work, a Gueuze tasting on Monday and another Gueuze tasting on Thursday)<\/li>\n<li>March 1st: Antwerp (Drinks with Kurt from Belgium in a box along with other RateBeer users, visiting Kulminator again)<\/li>\n<li>March 2nd: (Day-Trip with Kurt, Private Tour @ Tilquin, De Molen, De Dolle, Fantome? Lots of ideas and getting in touch with brewers now. Also packing up my beer with Kurt to send back to USA)<\/li>\n<li>March 3rd: Fly to Copenhagen via Brussels<\/li>\n<li>March 3rd &#8211; 6th: Copenhagen with a potential day-trip to Stockholm (Mikkeller bar, RateBeer meet ups, tastings, some in person trades and sightseeing)<\/li>\n<li>March 6th: Fly back to Boston<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is only a week and a half long trip. Not too long but just enough where I don&#8217;t go completely broke from all of the awesome food and drinks and very expensive hotels due to a crappy US Dollar. It IS a work trip so that helps some of the costs but it also means a lot of time spent in important meetings with my team which is great. I don&#8217;t get to see them as much as I&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I&#8217;ll keep this one brief and simply share that I&#8217;m going to Europe again slightly earlier than usual and I&#8217;d like to meet up and share drinks with as many people as possible. If you&#8217;re around, let&#8217;s meet up. I&#8217;m stoked to be coming back to Belgium and stoked my home office is in the greatest beer country in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Once the July trip is confirmed, I&#8217;ll plan some more solid tastings \/ events well in advance for anyone interested. For in person trades while in Belgium, I already have 19 bottles going with me to Belgium + Denmark for trades so I&#8217;m at capacity for taking on any more. Sorry I can&#8217;t have more bottles to bring but that&#8217;s simply my max. Lots of great and fun trades and it is always nice bringing home <a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2012\/06\/22\/beer-haul-june-2012-post-belgium-extravaganza\/\">some cool beers to enjoy throughout the year<\/a> until I go back again.<\/p>\n<p>You can reach me by emailing literally any name @adam-jackson.net. Generally I ask people to email beer@ but you could write &#8220;lambiclover@&#8221; and this domain name and that&#8217;ll work. Most of the hate mail I get goes to douchebag@ adam jackson.net. Oh well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Generally, I only go to Europe once each year.
