Last month we visited Brasserie Atlas in Bon Secours and it was definitely worth the drive from Brussels!
Atlas is a welcoming, historic tavern right on the border with France. They serve delicious food, all beautifully presented.
All beers are from the nearby brewery Brasserie Caulier which makes it a nice occasion to try different beers from their range. I had the blonde and triple of the renewed Bon Secours range, but of course they have Paix Dieu as well and their tasty alcohol free beer Zero Pression.
In my photos you can see the dishes we had. They looked amazing and tasted absolutely delicious. Each dish was a perfect ensemble of flavours.
Starters: Trompe L'oeil (tomato mozarella) and Tartare de Saumon
Mains: Rigatoni with burrata and Poisson de la criee with saffron and vegetables.

Thank you so much to Brasserie Caulier for the invitation! We will definitely come back. 😊

G de Goudale Millesime 2026 Haka (7.9%) brewed by Elaborado for Brasserie Goudale in Arques (France).
This years grand cru is made with three different hops from New Zealand: motueka, nectaron and nelson sauvin.
The strong blonde, golden beer is full of sweet maltiness, some alcohol warmth and sweetness and tasty fruity hop notes, like pineapple and peach. A good way to get in the holiday mood😅

Pinard de Bruxelles (7.5%) brewed and aged by BBP Dansaert (Brussels), bottled in March 2021. Beer made with Mourvedre grape must from the Languedoc and then aged in oak barrels from Bordeaux, Moscatel and Chardonnay.
Five years in a bottle and wow, what a nice beer blend! Wild yeast of course in both aroma and taste, also a mild and well rounded acidity with notes of grapes, a hint of fortified wine even, notes of prunes, spices and wood as well. YUM!😊

Moose Hammer hazy pale ale (5.5%) brewed by Woodstock Brewery in Cape Town (South Africa)
Lots of hoppy fruitiness in this thirst quenching ale; mango, peach and tangerine coming nicely together. Very easy drinking and comes with a warning on the can: you might get as hammered as a moose🫎...

Zero Pression (0.4%) alcohol-free beer brewed by Brasserie Caulier in Peruwelz (Belgium).
This alcohol free ale is tasty and refreshing, it has a fruity aroma and a good bitter body with notes of grapefruit and orange and a nice lasting aftertaste. 👍
