Lille
Tomorrow I'm off on the Eurostar to Lille in French Flanders for a short break. I don't intend on drinking much beer, and I think my travelling companion would prefer it if we didn't go near the stuff. However, if there's a particular bar (or perhaps a brewpub) in the city that you think is worth a visit, let me know. Cheers.
In a couple of weeks I'm going on another trip - a four day beery journey. We're kicking off with drinks here at The Gunmakers in London, after which we'll fly to Rome for a night on the tiles in the Trastevere. After that, we'll drag ourselves to the airport and fly on to Prague for two more nights of dedicated hoonery. It's my mate Mike's stag do.

Decent enough brewpub Les Trois Brasseurs, but better off with restaurants and wine really.
Nice place though.
Bummed I didn't see this yesterday. Not sure if you saw my email a while back about the beer pub I went to in Lille...La Capsule.
It's run by the same people who own the beer shop L'abbaye des saveurs. http://www.abbayedessaveurs.com/index.asp

So--lots of great French beer to be drank! I'm actually writing about it tomorrow on my site. Funny.
Indeed La Capsule is worth a go, pretty decent range of local beers.
If I may sugest any local beer worth trying or bringing back : St Germain's "Page 24 Cuvée Ste Hildegarde Blonde" is a nice crisp, hoppy take on a pale bière de garde.
On honeymoon we went to the Football Pub. Manuele was an absolute gent and showered us with hospitality. He's very fond of you, too and hearing the locals wax lyrical about GBBF and the wonders of Earls Court, while surreal, made for a super evening.
I'm in Prague on Oct 20, when are you there?
