The Ronde van Vlaanderen (English interpretation: Tour of Flanders) is the hardest single-day bike race in the world. Combining ancient cobblestone roads along with unrelenting short, steep climbs and some of the nastiest weather Europe has to offer, this race is clearly for the "strong men" of cycling.  If you are Belgian, winning this race is considered better than winning the world championships (especially if you are from the Northern region).  So with that in mind, let's leave the racing to the pros and toast to their success with some of Belgium's best beers.

Leffe Blonde, Belgium - A dry, fruity, lightly spiced beer, full and creamy - a perfect balance of strength and subtlety. The brand has a delicate and light, malty aroma and a subtle, sweet finish. 6.6% ABV.

Stella Artois, Belgium - Stella Artois was first brewed as a Christmas beer in Leuven.  It was named Stella, from the star of Christmas, and Artois after Sebastian Artois, founder of the brewery.  It's brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois yeast and the celebrated Saaz hops.  It's the optimum premium lager, with it's full flavor and clean crisp taste.  5.2% ABV.

Grimbergen Dubbel (Double), Belgium - A dark burgundy, top-fermented Abbey Beer with a full body. The mixture of different malts and the use of dark candy sugar combine to produce a delicious sweet toffee taste with a brandy-like finish. The name Double refers to the fact that it has been fermented twice: once in the barrel, then again in the maturation cellars. 6.5% ABV

Westmalle Dubbel, Belgium - Westmalle Dubbel is a dark, reddish-brown Trappist beer with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The creamy head has the fragrance of special malt and leaves an attractive lace pattern in the glass. The flavour is rich and complex, herby and fruity with a fresh-bitter finish. It is a balanced quality beer with a soft feel in the mouth and a long, dry aftertaste. 7% ABV.

Avery White Rascal (Belgian Wheat Ale), Colorado - A truly authentic Belgian style wheat or "white" ale, this Rascal is unfiltered (yup, that's yeast on the bottom) and cleverly spiced with coriander and Curacao orange peel producing a refreshingly fruity thirst quencher. 5.6% ABV

We'll also have are house Belgian beers including, Chimay Red, Palm Ale and Victory Brewing's Golden Monkey Triple. If Belgian beers are not your favorites also try Peak Organic's refreshing Pomegranate Wheat this month.
