I wish you the best and be sure that I'll keep reading. I've always wanted to know more about rum.

Moving to Costa Rica?!?! there's something you dont hear often. Good luck, fella.

Well, "pura vida" sounds like the best saying for the adventure. A pity we didn't met in November.
All the best!

There is no beer scene in Costa Rica. You have your choice of Imperial, Imperial Light, Bavaria Light, Gold and Dark and Pilsen. Oh and Rock Ice I guess too. All made by the same brewery.

Most of which are refreshing in the hot weather but lacking any complexity.

If you are lucky you can sometimes find some Guinness export or Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit.

Felipe: Thanks for the warm welcome. Brazil's scene is light years ahead of Costa Rica. I'll explain very soon.

Des: I should have known that word would draw out the chanteur.

Toine: It's not too late. I'm here for a few weeks yet.

And who's going to keep us updated on everything there is to know about belgian beery news now ;)? Seriously, you were always the first to know about everything going on in this country! If I hadn't stumbled into your great blog I'd probably never have started Malt In Pot... Thanks for all that, and we'll keep on reading you anyway ;)! Good luck with the move!

PS : Too bad we never even had the opportunity to share a beer at Moeder Lambic!

Joe, good luck with the change of scenery, I hope you remain a member of the Guild, you will be our second one out in South America.

Good luck with the move, Joe. And I hope you have...

Good luck with the move, Joe.

And I hope you have plenty of sources on the Belgian beer scene to keep you, and therefore us, well-informed of happenings.

Ah, "belgitude". What a lovely Jacques Brel sort of word. Mind you, given the weather in this bit of the world over the past few months, Costa Rica sounds mightily tempting, beer or no beer.

Joe,
I discovered this blog a few months ago, and this is in my opnion one of the best beer blogs in the internet. Well writen and with no comercial backgorund.
Since I´m from Brazil, I would like to say welcome in Latin America. I don´t know the beer scene in Costa Rica, but for sure you will suffer a little bit in the begining. I was in Germany and in Belgium and these countries are really a beer paradise. Belgian and German beers are becoming easier to find in Brazil, but the prices are still very high (5 to 10 times the price in Europe). For example, a bottle of Cantillon here costs 40 euros...
Maybe the things aren´t so different in Costa Rica.
Homebrewing is the solution and that is what I do!
If you are planning a trip to Brazil, let me know and I can advise you some places to visit and some beers to drink!

Best regards,
Felipe.
