HISTORY OF BEER
During the first Rendez-vous Montréal-Criss, that of 1989, a young man learns beer. During the journey of man with his parents, they visited several cities in France, Holland and Belgium. Chartres, Peronne, mills Kinderdizk, Zandvoort, Alkmaar, Volendam and Marken. Followed by Belgium, the world capital of beer. Why not enjoy it.
The real story begins in Mechelen (Malines), one day in late June. Stella Artois, Orval, Chimay, Trappist, Leffe, Chouffe, Sudden Death, Jupiler, Geuze succeed. Blonde, brown and white, the young man, then aged 23, was not used as much hops.
In Brussels, visit the Grand Place and Manneken Pis, we even caught a glimpse of the King of the Belgians! Then, dinner at Chez Léon. Mother takes mussels and fries, the father and the young man take a steak and chips and of course ... a Gueuze each.
short, after having a few beers at lunch and throughout the afternoon, the young man has a sudden urgency to find a toilet. Unfortunately it is almost 17 hours and the stores are about to close. They eventually find a department store (high end) still open. The youth is rapidly heading towards the toilet. Just happened is a disaster. The young man wore a yellow flaming pants super nice. I'm ignoring the details about what happens next. Ten or fifteen minutes pass. The father of the young man, noting the delay of his son, arrived on the scene and asked this one if everything goes well. The unfortunate young man replied annoyed and dryly: NO!
After a semblance of washing to save appearances, the three tourists must now go back to the hotel which is located in Mechelen. The boy covers his best size and upper back of his pants with his windbreaker and all fall as fast as possible to the hotel after that memorable day.
The young man will remember all her life the adverse effects of abuse of hops, even the best in the world.
