| So... you like beer, too? |
It's Belgian time again at Ashley's in Ann Arbor January 17-22, and that means a delicious menu of cuisine and a full complement of drafts and bottles from the land of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Consider it a prelude (which it is) to the bigger, badder second annual Belgian Beer Festival at Ashley's in Westland from February 9-19 (about which more in another post).
Many craft beer nerds are enthralled with the unique brews of this non-nation, and with good reason. There's a great variety of sweet, sour, and WTF? ales to please the sophisticated beer palate, and Ashley's offers plenty of options.
Here's the list, as I have it:
