Looking to perhaps visit Aalst from Gent during my upcoming Fall trip... Good bier sites, as well as historical places and things to photograph?? Much obliged!! Prost!!
Museum Stamenei Sjinka Poenka is a breweriana museum and beer cafe, only open occasionally. Drankenhandel Surprise is a beer shop, pub, and museum of pig collectibles. De Heeren van Liedekercke and De Glazen Toren are also near Aalst.
If by car, visit beershop Geers in Oostakker and you will not be able to choose which beers to buy in (one of) the best beershop(s) in Belgium.
I looked this place up and I actually did stop there about 10 years ago, when a friend was driving us to Westvleteren.... Great selection!!
