Those gorgeous peppers are nearly impossible to find in these parts. If I do find them, they cost about 3 euros for 4. I’ve found some workable African peppers for chili sauce and stuff, but damn, I miss the poppers. If anybody comes to Brussels, I’m happy to play tour guide and maybe even share the bounty of my cellar, but you must bring jalapenos.
Hmm… Interesting… Yeah, I could find a spot for a couple plants. I don’t know how well they’d grow in Belgium at the end of August. I could try. Anyway, I’ll be around at that time and I’m happy to show you around. You like beer, right?
Ha, uthirsty. I know I’m pretty safe in these parts, but I’m afraid of the day when someone comes to visit who doesn’t like beer. I don’t know what to do with them. “Um, I think there’s a cool museum or something over there somewhere…”
As for offerings from abroad, Cholula is also acceptable. Include some Uncle Brutha’s #9 and a vertical tasting of various years of Pannepot, Pannepot Reserva and Pannepot Grand Reserva becomes likely.
I don’t know those beers, but they sound yummy. I’ll do some searching. After an initial bit of research, it looks like distribution is not widespread. Still, I’ll see what I can do.
One minor rant - more freakin’ Proef beers. Doesn’t anybody have their own brewery anymore?
