The new Belgian craft beer cave with honest pub grub & a pink elephant

While it’s not like the original in Brussels which boasts an epic 2,000-plus beer selection, it is a treat for craft beer lovers, nonetheless. Choice still abounds with 13 of Delirium‘s beers on tap brought directly from their brewery, and dozens of other bottled Belgian beer, including some obscure brews.

The intimate bar, with its tiny windows and its low roofs feels somehow like a warm, cosy womb filled with beer. It’s the kind of unpretentious bar you feel like you can sink into like a cosy couch. With a beer, of course.

An army of the iconic pink elephant of the Delirium brand lines the bar taps, and you can work your way through most of the popular pours below them with a beer tasting flight for a low 10€.

Or you can spend some time with the menu (or by perusing the fridge full of bottled beer varieties for those that select by which has the most interesting label) and choose one of the more obscure tipples. There are plenty of options for both the craft beer cavaliers and the beginners: banana, coconut, raspberry, apple or the traditional one, made by monks.

The food menu is full of un-hipsterised (no avocado here, except in the veggie burger) honest pub grub, with a brilliant line-up of noteworthy burgers, alongwith the other greasy comfort food favourites, like BBQ chicken wings, a pulled pork burger, a club sandwich – you can guess the rest. Also, the fries are cooked Belgian style – fried twice – giving them a crunchy moreishness. It’s a tough ride for vegetarians here, except for the meatless burger… and the beer.

There is also a 10€ day-time special (served from 11am-4pm) that will bring a smile to anybody who enjoys a little boozing with their lunch, including a choice from any of the main dishes paired with a craft beer of your choice.

While the place is riding the Delirium name that already makes a true beer lover froth at the mouth, we have no doubt that it will be another welcome addition to the city for those that enjoy exploring the world of beer.
