[@Uliio]

These videos are pretty damn amazing. Hidden gems..

[@ianglass9426]

A very beautiful presentation. I hope to visit that area in the future.

[@ianglass9426]

I wish this series was longer, and you had more time to reflect. But I understand the constraints.

[@veshtitsacraftsandtunes4693]

The scenes in the beginning, with the music and the fields, are very beautiful, my friend. Thank you for the video and I wish you experience many more days like this :)

[@dortchem]

[@jndelbauve]

En Wallonie, on dit à ta santé .

[@russtex]

I would love to taste all of those! Beautiful place!

[@PeterBragiel]

Russtex! Not sure where you're based, but you can buy some of these at big warehouse liquor stores like Bevmo and other other grocery stores.

[@OKtubus]

The town on 5:43 where they have a drink at the end is called Bouillon, it's not in Orval

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Great shots on the abbey. .

[@dylanmurphy2856]

Looks like a great trip. Would love to do the same. Thank you for posting! Cheers 🍻

[@halfthrottle]

Those motorcycle riders are soft bro. You pedaled there! I've been cycling a lot lately and have a lot of pain in my elbows and wrists. It beats you up for sure but is also very rewarding.

[@mythosone]

love this

[@beaudwayful]

I would love to go back to Belgium and do the Trappist tour

[@PeterBragiel]

It's a great trip, and one I would highly recommend.

[@AlinaTheGoblin]

Love the bit of goofiness at the end! Sorry about the pinky though. Interesting how certain activities and the moulding of a body to high rigor can cause peculiar ailments and strains. Also, the beer looks so good!

[@PeterBragiel]

Thanks Nina! Beers were delicious. Thankfully my ulnar nerve has nothing to do with tasting delicious beers :)

[@annaweber7437]

Peter Bragiel because your orval nerve was at its best :)

[@michelvansteenberge571]

Bien venue dans mon pays de Belgique

[@shredamerica8953]

amazing

[@Rosenbane]

Love your work Peter. Making me thirsty!

[@MatthewPalanca]

So awesome. Never considered pairing cheese with a beer.

[@PeterBragiel]

Thanks Matthew! Pair your next beer with some sharp cheese.

[@spastischelastisch8482]

Try a roquefort cheese with a Gose or oyster stout! ;)

[@fredriksvard2603]

What. Thats the whole thing with beer in some areas.

[@RugbyNick6]

Do you have these routes anywhere?

[@gatheringmoments]

Very happy to see an American dude being drunk in my country. It’s hilarious to see the before/after

[@shaileshwala795]

Hey which Trappist Cafe did you go happen to go in Orval?

[@PeterBragiel]

Not sure, it's the one attached to the monastery/brewery.

[@dampaul13]

A l'Ange Gardien is the cafe that sits a few hundred metres from the monastery/brewery, and the only place you can get Orval Vert. That beer alone is worth the trip.

[@Joshhallman]

Must be nice having an Ulnar nerve. MUST BE NICE!!!!! I want a 25 min episode.

[@PeterBragiel]

Haha! Yeah man, it's pretty nice to have vital nerves. Are you missing one? If so, I'm so sorry man. I didn't know.

[@PeterBragiel]

25 minute videos coming soon! Need to feed the machine with minutes.

[@spastischelastisch8482]

Hi there! Thanks for making this series, *edit* Are you seriously comparing Chimay with Orval? 🤐 Auch !

[@11thstalley96]

Andreas Nys Agreed...as good as Chimay is, Orval is a singular beer unlike anything that I’ve ever had. I understand that the Vieux version is the same beer as the Jeune, just aged longer. I’ve only had the Orval Vieux that is available in the states, and I’m really looking looking forward to trying the the Vert and Jeune versions, of which I’ve heard a lot of good things.

[@dampaul13]

@@11thstalley96 Sorry, if you know any of the following. I find it interesting. Orval is secondary fermented with a strain of brettanomyces, which, over time, gives Orval its unique profile. Brett is an aggressive yeast that has the ability to eat more sugars than other strains of yeast. As such, it continues to eat usually unfermentable sugars, drying out the beer, increasing the abv, increasing carbonation (hence the shape and thickness of the bottle), and developing those "brett" flavours that Orval is famous for. Orval Vert is draught only, lower abv, and more heavily dry hopped, and one of the greatest beers I've ever had. It is bright, fresh, clean, and hoppy, with none of those brett flavours having had time to develop. Yes, the only difference between the two bottled Orval is the age, which means you can do the same thing by comparing young and old bottles. The trouble is that by the time Orval lands in most countries outside of Europe, it's hard to find truly young examples and is already starting to show signs of age, though not in a bad way. There is lots of debate about what age is the best to drink Orval. Having tried bottles at the brewery that has only been released a few days earlier and older bottles up to and older than 10 years old, they all have something to offer. If you are planning on visiting the brewery, it's only open to the public for two days, Orval Brewery Open Days, usually held in mid-September. While the cafe is open year-round.

[@Komplex_Music_]

it's funny to see where i live in your vidéo ahah (Bouillon)

[@iBuzzinga]

I drank the Orval Vert at the same café. I really didn't like it. At the end, I felt like I was drinking liquid hops.

[@robinvr7151]

I've never seen someone put salt on there mussels(moules), nice series though

[@jndelbauve]

Et bien, te voilà moins bête. On met du sel dans la cuisson des moules

[@fromagepuant3284]

I live in belgium and Orval is my favourite beer. But the price is fucking high like 6$ for 33cl in a bar :/

[@spastischelastisch8482]

? You've been going to the wrong bars vriendschap 😊 It's about 3,5-4eur for an Orval over here, If you want an Orval that has been aged for over 2+ years it'll cost you 5eur :)

[@fromagepuant3284]

@@spastischelastisch8482 oof shit wtf, i go to the local bar of a town thats called "Visé" in Liège and thats kinda expensive

[@jndelbauve]

Orval est la meilleure bière pour les vrais connaisseurs, West vletteren l'est pour ceux qui n'ont jamais goûté un Orval.

[@FeltDownHard]

You should film with some more background focus because you can't see anything but you.

[@flamengo84]

Yea you are right , he focus a lot on him and not enough on background
