It’s finally here. The greatest sporting event in the world (ok, I have it second to the NCAA tourney) kicks offs this afternoon in Brazil.
Ever since I decided to jump on the growing Belgium bandwagon for this World Cup, late last year, I’ve had this image in my head: rooting on the Belgians in the summer, while drinking an array of Belgian ales. Really, it was a daydream to get me through the frozen-over days of winter and, of course, an excuse to drink Belgian beer.
As the tournament has approached, I’ve made my plan more ambitious. Each day of the tournament (or at least close to it), I plan on sampling an adult beverage from one of the nations competing in that day’s action. So far, in pursuit of this quest, I’ve made a visit to a craft beer store in Brooklyn and my local Wegman’s beer shop, here in PA.
Each day, I plan on detailing that day’s drink, along with, I guess, some thoughts on the actual game action from the tournament.
World Cup 2014 is here. Go Belgium!
