Kandinsky, my little gem

I just got back from Kandinsky, nothing much to do with the artist himself, but in stead one of the most gezellig (cosy, nice) cafe's in Tilburg. It boasts about 200 beers, predominantly Belgian but also Dutch, Irish, English, German...you name it.

Today I had Maredsous 6 (6%) and Edelweiss (5.4%) both straight out of 'vat'. Edelweiss, a white beer from Austrian Alps, tastes like herb and was really lekker (yummie). Maredsous is a nice blond-beer too, little on the lighter side (blonds are usually between 6 and 7.5%) for an amber coloured beer, but in a way, quite refreshing.

Croix loved this place too, once he even managed to get a couple of unopened bottles of Kandinsky beer to bring back to Seattle!!!!
On Sundays they have Beer-tasting, 5 different beers in a smaller glass for 7.50 euro. I went there once on my own, and it started with a 6% beer, then 7.5, 8, 10 and to finish (me) off, 11%. I just wished I'd grabbed some food before I got there! A must if you visit Tilburg.

Oh and Paradox, a jazz/crossover/world/whatever joint is stone's throw away. Behind the little, somewhat shabby-looking facade you find the most ecclectic mix of music in town, and crowds equally so--me and Caroline had a blast here once! Man we got properly---jazzed.

The triple Maredsous with 10% alcohol content is one of the favourite beers of Michael Jackson, the outstanding beer ’pope’:
"These beers have long been my favourites. Above all the 10° is an especially tasty beer."
