  • Belgian Fried Chicken Mondays

    Our next BFC is March 2!
    This month Hopleaf’s kitchen has chosen to pair the BFC with St. Bernardus!

    March’s version includes: Black garlic marinated W/ tahini-brown sugar waffle, st bernardus braised collards and black eyed peas, lentil squash puree, brocolli taboulli and pickled aji dolce peppers. $18. Pair it with St. Bernardus for an extra $5.

    It’s the First Monday of each* month —Belgian Fried Chicken Night! You might not find fried chicken on many menus on Brussels, but you might wish that you did after tasting this! It’s not historically a staple of the Belgian culinary scene, but we thought we’d change that. The preparation changes from month to month.  (*any exceptions will be announced)

    Offered at dinnertime, which starts at 5.  But don’t wait until too late; these dishes are popular and tend to sell out early.

    Hopleaf is excited to host an Author Meet-and-Greet for the new Trappist Beer Travels book!

    This combination beer journal, history book, and travelogue grants readers rare access inside monastery walls for an in-depth look at the legendary breweries of Trappist monks.

    To craft the book, authors Caroline Wallace, Sarah Wood and Jessica Deahl journeyed thousands of miles together, from the United States to Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy, and back again, for the complete tour of the world’s 11 Authentic Trappist monastery breweries.

    Written with a reverence informed by the brewery directors and monks themselves, Trappist Beer Travels takes readers inside each abbey’s unique history and brewing culture. The book is brimming with new and historical photography, original artwork, and helpful travel tips along the way.

    Trappist breweries included in the book: Orval Abbey, Achel, La Trappe Trappist, Rochefort, Chimay, Westvleteren, Westmalle, Zundert Trappist, Stift Englelszell, Tre Fontane & Spencer Trappist.
