Belgium is the country with the best beer in the world. Therefore, your stay in Brussels cannot be complete without a visit to one of the many typical and beautiful cafes and pubs that you will find here. Try the local beers of Brussels Gueuze or fruit beer (cherry beer, raspberry beer, and peach beer) or a wonderful Trappist beer, made in one of the Abbeys of Belgium. Be careful when drinking a Trappist beer. These beers tend to be very strong (between 8% and 11.5% alcohol!!).

La Mort Subite (The Sudden Death) is perhaps the best fruit beer cafe in town. It's a very typical Belgium bar where you can enjoy dozens of local beers. It has a very warm ambiance and is often very crowded during after-office hours. People just walk in, have a beer, and chat. Cheese and sausage plates are available to pick at.

Nevertheless, we sampled a brown-sugar beer, a gueuze, and several other delightful drinks. The bar itself is gorgeous. People of all ages and appearances line the long skinny bar. The mirrors and gilding have been dulled with time, but it lends this place an even more elegant air. You'll want to visit again and again.
