Some beer trading musings from a friend and fellow Porterra Traveler...

​“I must say that the best part about brining beers over to trade was not the actual beer I received in return, (although I did get some amazing beers!) the best part was the people I met, some became instant friends, and we have stayed in-touch on a regular basis. One person in particular is my friend Rudy, owner of a small bar and bottle shop “Café De Bierboom”, (Langestraat 73, 8000 Brugge, Belgium). Rudy not only runs a great place (with bottles we did not find anywhere else), he also brews his own amazing beer. Rudy took us all around Brugge one evening, introducing us to his friends & family, and his favorite beer hangouts. None of this would have happened if I didn’t throw a few bottles of beer into my suitcase before leaving for the airport.  If I ever have someone I know planning a visit to Belgium and they are going to be near one of my friends who live in Brugge or Brussels, I try and send beer along for them to drop off, and my awesome friends in Belgium send beer back. We even take photos of each other enjoying each other’s gifts.” - Chris Hosbach, Stockertown Beverage
