Toss an empty can of beer from Place Flagey and you’ll hit Malting Pot, which brilliantly fuels beer nights for the craft beer nation. And for good reason: the walls are literally lined with the best brews from Belgium and beyond. With so many options, you’re sure to swoon for a punk label (like the skull sporting a mohawk on the can of IPA Disorder, €5.90 for 440 ml), a clever name (like Meryl’s Triple by Brasserie Illegaal, €3.60 for 330 ml), or simply let yourself be guided by the good advice from Sam Sarmad, a trained archeologist. Maybe opt for À L’Arrière Des Berlines, aged in triple sec barrels (€7.90 for 330 ml), or Black Mirror stout with notes of chocolate and vanilla cookies (€6.90 for 440 ml)… Shout out to the compilation of gueuzes, starting with Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen, which have their own dedicated corner in the shop. // Barbara Gù

The bullet-proof bottle: A glass of Venere with chili and lime, a house collab with Brasserie La Source – served ice cold in the summer (€3.60 for 330 ml).
