My previous post had an itinerary but I thought it would be nice to post the finalized view here and if any of my readers want to sync up, please reach out in the comments or on Twitter, Ratebeer, Untappd, carrier pigeon.<\/p>\n<p>3\/4: Arrive in Brussels at 8:45, pick up my rental car<\/p>\n<p>3\/5: Up early for a day of beer buying. General schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cantillon @ Opening<\/li>\n<li>Followed by a visit to 3 Fonteinen to grab Kriek and Gueuze and chat with Armand<\/li>\n<li>Beer Circus Store<\/li>\n<li>Hopduvel Gent<\/li>\n<li>If I have time, a visit to Struise taproom<\/li>\n<li>Fantome<\/li>\n<li>Drinks @ Moeder Lambic<\/li>\n<li>Tasting at Tim\u2019s House, I\u2019ll be bringing mostly American Double IPAs that are fresh from Hill Farmstead (2 days old)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>3\/6: Alvinne Craft Beer Festival is from 2PM-10PM. Before that, I\u2019ll probably go to our Belgian office for a bit to see some colleagues. I also have to be at 3 Fonteinen when they open on Friday. Not sure why but when I get emails from readers with that advice, I follow orders.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3\/6: Day 2 of ACBF 12PM &#8211; 9PM. with some after party at a local bar. I\u2019ll follow everyone\u2019s lead on this one. I can\u2019t begin to describe the craziness this festival will be. It\u2019s going to be insane.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3\/7: Sunday, be at Grote Dorst when they open, have 2-3 beers then head to De Cam when they open. Hopefully I can have some time with the brewer before I have to catch my flight to Istanbul \u00a0at 6PM.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Friday &amp; Saturday are still relatively open.Arriving at Alvinne late is fine or leaving early is also fine. I\u2019d love to visit Jigger\u2019s Cocktail lounge and see my friend Olivier if time permits. A busy 4 day trip.
