Brugge!



One of my favorite restaurants in Indy is called 'Brugge.' It is right by the canal in Broad Ripple. They have really good crepes, mussels, and fries. And they also brew their own Belgian style beer.

So, imagine my surprise the other day (after my Dine & Dash experience) when I walked by a pub named Brugge, right by the train station.

That got me thinking. What does 'Brugge' really mean? Turns out is a town in Belgium. Hmmm. I had imagined it was the noise I would make by the canal if I had too many Belgian beers.
This place is pretty nice, as you can see by the pictures. It's joined to a little cafe, but the main part seems very European in its atmosphere.
From the 'menu' you can see on the sidewalk, they have 30 kinds of Belgian beer. Wow! I have decided it is my quest to sample one of each before I leave. Somebody has to do it. I am qualified and motivated. Two down and 28 to go.

My experience with Belgian beers is that they tend to have a nutty taste. So if you manage to sample all 28 flavors, do you get a t-shirt or something?

Careful with those Belgian beers. Some are high proof, like up to 13% alcohol and they work more like wine-- one beer = two glasses of wine!
