Today we left Liege by the northern route, driving to the top of the citadel and looking out upon the city. We made our way to Sint Truiden where we explored the city center and climbed a nearby tower. From there we drove to the Ter Dolen brewery for a beer sampling. We finished the day by driving to our hotel in Zolder and enjoying a final meal in Belgium.

Woo-hoo! 74 beers in 10 days, I’d say we did pretty well :)

Looks like a fun trip! It’s a pity you were so close to the Kerkom brewery (Sint-Truiden) and didn’t stop there. If you ever get a chance, you should try their Bink beers.
