Belgium's beer culture sustains nation as pubs thrive
Belgians drink beer as a national pastime with about 80,000 drinking spots and per capita consumption of 117 quarts in 1974. Historic taverns like Ste Catherine and Vieux Chateau d'Or anchor Brussels scenes, while modern trends shift from pubs to home drinking and fewer cafes. Beer remains the national drink despite changing lifestyles and a decline in cafe numbers.
