Belgian BEER FESTIVAL! + Exploring Medieval City of Diest 😍& Tasting Belgian Food!

[@jonathanjohnson4981]

I miss Belgium! I lived there for 3 years in the Wallonie region. Such a great place, a very magical place! Merci!

[@annek1226]

While you were at dinner you two were entertaining the children at the table in the adjoining room! They were fascinated!

Oh you two are in heaven right there in Diest..Finding that fun Beer Market. So many variety of Brews and y'all need to get one of those mug cleaners. What an amazing part of the city. Totally agree with you Alison, that area totally felt like you were stepping back in time. Great video y'all!

[@jensclarberg6419]

Yep. Along with German beer it's the best in the world.

[@susannels4884]

Love this style of video where you showed off the city and gave us some history and local flavor. Great video.

[@chucklewis6838]

Another great one! Excellent quality, Eric and super commentary, Allison. Real nice balance between the food, the drink, and the sites. The drone shots add a lot.

That little building reminded me of an old milk house. It's where milk was stored to be picked up by the distributors or people went there to get their milk.

[@Mleencihols]

love your combination of food and historical tourism sites and your outstanding videos

I love your European/UK vlogs the very most! Puts me in a fall mood! If you happen to see this, Allison, where is your sweater from during the beer fest?!

[@k.b.twyman4222]

Such a lovely place! I love seeing places that are not so touristy, more local flavor! Wonderful vlog!!!❤

[@sailingavocet]

right? so awesome. Thats why when we set sail for Hawaii then Alaska we want to show the less touristy things... especially when we sail to Mexico

[@betsyrose7897]

Enjoyed. My daughter and I just got back from Marseille and Nice France..our Favorite Country😇✈️

[@MalikBarrow16]

Loving the European architecture. Can't wait to see more!

[@bt5080]

Really nice drone activity. Going to places most would miss is awesome. Loved the walled-in part of the city. Thank you for doing your homework so you can tell us about history as you visit. It gives it a nice ambiance. Can't wait for Luxembourg!

[@RichandKirsten]

The sky view of the old wall was crazy! Goes to show that there are beautiful hidden gems all over the world to be discovered, even things that have been long abandoned. We loved the video such awesome content!

[@ramblinrose1869]

Great trip! Thanks for taking us along!

[@thesearchbar9330]

My family and I love your videos, we often watch them when we are planning our trips and we are so thankful that you guys share your lives with us. I am deeply appreciative of the travel community as well as the travel blogging and vlogging community for their continuous work to help people fall in love with travel as well as maximize their time traveling and enjoying life. The other day my gf and I were at a brewery in So Cal and we thought we saw you guys and our hearts dropped but it wasn't you. Anyways, we wish you safe travels and a great time!

[@lieselottewilmaerts9352]

when you come back to belgium. I recommend visit bruges, ghent, brussels, antwerp, durby, mechelen, lier are Louvain. I live near to diest, it is a nice city but not the best I will say. But off course the beer is everywhere in Belgium nice :)

[@nickyG1212]

Seeing some new pieces in the travel wardrobe. Looking good y’all! Thanks for another epic adventure.

[@blogpolar3311]

I’m a newer subscriber and my partner and I love watching your videos! You have inspired our decision to go to Canada for our honeymoon. I’ve been to Belgium twice but I’ve never ventured to Diest. Next time!

[@aybeesea]

If you come to Diest, defenitely check out the nearby town of Averbode too. Famous for its Abbey, the Ice cream lane (lekdreef) next to it and the Abbey makes their own beer and cheese too and use it in their dishes at the Abbey's Tavern called "het moment" Amazing hiking routes in the surrounding woods too if you're into that.

[@amycole5176]

I have been watching you guys for a long time. You inspire me to travel more. Your videos are always amazing! How many countries have you guys been to?

[@goingplaces1860]

Those Citadel “tunnels” are magazine stores for ordnance (artillery shot and shell).

Boy your video’s are amazing. Well edited, big variaty in shots, great quality. Recently discovered your channel. I am a Belgian myself and I’m heartwarmed seeing this.

[@roryparlin2414]

Hey guys. Love all the videos. After watching your Ireland trip, I booked a trip to the Emerald Island. Leaving in April. Keep the traveling coming!!!

[@A2N086]

Ooh how awesome! We are going for a week in April. I wish we could go longer, but we can't. We are going the 4th through the 11th.

[@huskysquad]

Hey guys! Been watching you for some time, but I have to say we love your production quality upgrade. very nice work! Isn't Belgium wonderful? Vee is from there, and we plan to go back for a long visit soon. Loved this video guys!

[@temmietaft2552]

I'm not really a beer lover, but you guys made those beer varieties look amazing!!

[@gerdpapenburg7050]

4:30 - 5:30 loved to hear this old song in the background: Blue Bayou - it was performed in English by Roy Orbison (1963) and Linda Ronstadt (1977), and in German by the Swiss singer Paola (1978). 13:00 - .... You usually use a fork to eat the first mussle. After that you use the first mussle shell to get the other mussles out of the shell. Love to see your next adventure in Luxembourg. Do you know that most people of Luxembourg speak at least four languages? Luxembourgish (Letzeburgesch), French, German (official languages) and English.

[@flyttkartong6761]

Nice video guys :) Love Belgian Beers!

[@zoemorrison07]

Ooo the beer market!! That looked so much fun! I loved the history of this one, I feel like it still gives off the vibe of war? That might sound silly, but I think it’s because it’s been preserved so well. I’m glad you guys showed the history of this place! It allows people to see it and actually think about heading there themselves! Can’t wait for Luxembourg 🇱🇺😊!!

[@Mrtribru69]

Looks a lovely town. I am going there tommorow to meet friends who bought a house there. Will certainly explore.

[@amorson3035]

Will you ever go to Bruges? Would love to see that place!

[@dennisdalessio8238]

Wonderful review. Great beer and food. Thanks

[@Psychphuq]

Darkness of beer is a roasting of the malts not necessarily a reflection the thickness...🤓 I've had darks range from 4,5% to 9,5% in ale, wheat beer, porter, and stout... ALL good in cooler weather... 😎

[@KimberlyDuBoiseAuthor]

looks so fun! glad you enjoyed... thank you for sharing!

[@markjs46]

Love the look of the mussels! How many days are you staying in Europe? Mark from Bournemouth

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Great video guys, Belgium is such an overlooked destination.. Strange to see someone eating mussels with a spoon and fork... people usually use an empty pair of mussel shells in the fashion of a pair of pliers..

I love medieval history and architecture.😊

[@jochemalaerts8439]

Actually the city where I went too school for 6 years, there is a lovely little café in the city called 'De biertempel' definitely worth checking out!

[@kpiluzz]

You both are always so fun. This is a terrific video. Doubt I would use those glass washers though. Reminds me of gold ball washers, lol. Love the walled areas and the spider dance.

[@derekgreen280]

Another wonderful video!:) Thank you! 😃

[@janebaker966]

Nice to see a less famous but really interesting place.

[@billibabkus1917]

once you´re here, I´d be glad to show you my favourite spots in my very own region then. Just gimme a call. Just one thing, if we ever go beer beer tasting don´t nip it like they did. :)

Not the best food in europe But best beers in the world

It's french quality with German quantity

Interesting to learn the different drinks

[@Stinovich]

The tinyhouse could have been a mill (on the roof) or an old late medieval guardpost

[@daniellevounckx5489]

The small tower 'house' was a Toll house, where people had to pay when they came to Diest

[@MsNinaJacki]

Damn, I’m learning a lot about my own little country. Thanks for not visiting the obvious touristic Belgian cities. ♥️🇧🇪

[@laurabolton1995]

If y'all stop in Brugge while you are there, you MUST eat/grab a coffee at The Gulliver Tree! It's a magical little cafe that had amazing food and was for sure one of the best/cutest little cafes that I experienced while over in Europe!

[@lisakipp99]

It's been a little over three decades since I visited Belgium. One of my many stops along my European travels after graduating from my school. And definitely my favorite country of all the trip! Enjoy!

[@lisakipp99]

By the way that should have said High School. Not my school. Darned voice recognition software.

[@jeanettemac7787]

Love the long sky views, & the bloopers..lol

[@PurpleLuci]

Looks like a beautiful place 😍

[@margaretcopeland1055]

Having raised rabbits for meat, rabbit needs a lot of sauce and spices. Rabbit is very lean and it doesn't have too many edible parts. Many people don't know this but the best part of the rabbit is the liver. Way better than chicken livers.

[@travelertrome8449]

I love English Cream Ales like Tetley's, Boddingtons, and John Smiths. Were all the beers there only Belgian ones? Did you see any Cream Ales?

[@Rusya2412]

If you're still in Belgium, please go to Bruges! Lots of tourist, but it is such a beautiful city!!! I was there today!

[@TT-zd6nr]

Great to see real glass being used. So many events can only provide plastic and it definitely diminishes the experience!

[@ChelsIsTheName]

Totally true! But it's also part of the Belgian beer culture! It's a big shame to drink belgian beer in a plastic cup. A lot of Beers also have there own kind of glasses.

[@BrianAlt]

One of my favorite saying about beer is, "dark is NOT a flavor!"

[@christophedobbels8877]

this is my city! so cool to see you go through it. any questions ask me

very nice!...I want to see the spider dance again!

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

Ah that looks so amazing! Reminds me of our last trip to Germany where we had way too much bread and beer, and basically ended up doubling in size 😂 Unfortunately we weren't vlogging at that time though! Hopefully we can make it out to Belgium soon. If we only have a long weekend in Belgium would you recommend Diest? We've had our eyes on Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels but probably won't have enough time to get to them as it is!

[@sailingavocet]

We live on our boat, and we can not wait to sail to Europe!

[@marvinadn]

Don’t know if you guys are still there but you may want to ride over to In de Vrede. Have some lunch and try some beer. Trust me it’s worth the trip.

[@willminkorea2010]

That looks great

[@bobarty]

Surprised you did not get to sample one of the famous Belgian fruit beers mainly the Raspberry which is very good.
