Positive contributions of the Belgian people to society:

  • Frites

  • idk some yummy beer

Third one is for real though, China will have to do an operation paperclip before the fall of the EU to keep that shit going

Collecting Belgians like they're Pokémon after WW3 to keep my tasty treats.

Monasteries were a good idea because it gave dudes a couple centuries to just sit around and figure out beer

Critical support to 7th century monks for creating the idea of drinking your lunch

I really don't like beer except for this one belgian beer I got for my housemate for Christmas. It was 10% and easily the best beer I've ever had

You're forgetting PTB-PVDA: the only marxist-leninst party in Europe with amazing poll numbers. Currently around second place (in a landscape with twelve parties) in the polls for the election in June.

One of my most firmly held convictions is that Belgian beer is thoroughly overrated.

They’re either too heavy or they have weird fucking flavors. Why the fuck do I want chocolate or cherry flavored beer? When have you ever drank a beer and thought “I would love to eat a bar of chocolate while I’m drinking this.”

No. Fuck no.

And even the non-Trappist beers are just ok, usually too heavy bodied.

Vedet is ok. That’s all.

Imagine complaining about your beer being too heavy. Fam, that's actual beer not some guys piss

Weird flavors are a sin though gulag

[–] rio@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

I don’t mean heavy in flavor, more heavy in the stomach. Belgian beers make me feel heavy. Like eating too much pasta.
