The same over here in Brugge Belgium. Brewpub De Brugse Bierkaai
(
http://www.debrugsebierkaai.com/) has closed
also due to banckruptcy ?? De Brugse Bierkaai owned by bry Sterkens.
Just after this disaster news I read that bry Sterkens just started a brew
plant in USA:
I was over there a two plus summers back, and (sadly) it was, frankly,
uncomfortable. Everything looked orderly and fine, but the bar was laid out
in a long row of polished chairs. It just didn't feel nice or enjoyable.
Compared to the other beer meccas in Brugge, it was odd and sterile. I got
out of there after one compulsory draft. If you go to Brugge, you want
ancient wood and rotting beams and creaking floorboards and murmuring
multitudes and buzz and detail--you don't want something that pristine.
Oh--and the beer? I don't remember it.
