I guess I know, we call cercueil beer + coke here :)
Also a name of "famous" pub near Brussels center (grand place) where tables are cercueil and glases are skulls
 
Damn..My avatar gave it away..lol..I forgot that was on there..Yes thats the mug that I drank from 5 years ago in Brussels..Unbelievable country..Obviously the beer is great but the mussels, chocolates, waffles, crepes, fries were great as well...Can't wait to go back..Just waiting about a decade untile the euro goes down..lol
 
Good God man, you must really love beer. Belgium is beer nirvana. I was lucky enough to live there for a year and good heavens, the selection in an average grocery store would make you faint. If you homebrew with all of that at your fingertips, you must really be a beer fanatic!

So, are you flemish or walloon?

The only type of beer I missed in Belgium was a fresh American Pale Ale Style. I found that the Trappist monastery Orval had enough hop character in their young beer that it usually satisfied my craving.

So, when you drink Pils, is it Maes, Jupiler or Stella?
