Brouwerij Roman was the historical gem of our journey; this says a lot when Roman is juxtaposed with the other breweries of our trip. There are official documents showing that beer was being brewed at Roman Brewery in 1545. While it is impressive that Roman Brewery is on its fourteenth generation of owners, the thing that impressed us even more..
Many have seen the white bottle labeled Gulden Draak, with the squiggly tailed no legged golden dragon breathing a small line of fire.
The third day of our trip landed us in Kortrijk, a town rich in medieval Flanders history.
Brasserie De Silly, the first stop on our magnificent food and beer filled tour of Belgium, is located on the banks of the Sylle River, from which the village and brewery take their names.
