For the past 5 years, I\u2019ve been lucky to have gone to Europe on someone else\u2019s dime. This past trip was the first time going where I wasn\u2019t going to do any work and it was purely a vacation. I still managed to spend 4 hours in our Belgian office on Friday in meetings but it helps that I love what I do and work isn\u2019t seen as a chore. Another trip is planned to Belgium the first week of May assuming work gives me the time off. This was a quick one and I wanted to share a few photos.<\/p>\n

Belgium and Turkey were the two countries I visited and as usual, lots of food (Belgian Stew) and many bottles of very old European beers. Flickr has more if you\u2019re so inclined<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next trip May 1st – 7th will be to attend the Bi-Annual Belgian Tour de Gueuze celebrating spontaneously fermented Lambiek around Brussels. I\u2019ll then spend 2 days in Champagne France followed by 2 days in Stockholm and one evening in Copenhagen celebrating, you guessed it, great food and delicious aged beers. I\u2019m very excited to visit Champagne as the last year has been a really nice exploration into the world of sparkling wines and my main focus has been Champagne as well as (flat) White Burgundy wines. I\u2019m still very new to the hobby but as you probably saw in my February Beer-Cellar post, the champagne shelf continues to grow<\/a> (20 bottles had last year with 40 or more cellaring). In Copenhagen, I\u2019m stoked to have the chance to dine at Relae for the 3rd year in a row. It continues to be my favorite restaurant in the world and I hope I\u2019m lucky enough to have the capacity to visit every year for a very long time. Their chefs are doing amazing things as the food it unlike anything you\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the past 5 years, I\u2019ve been lucky to have gone to Europe on someone else\u2019s dime.
