The Islamic population is high in Brussels, but they will be removed if they try to stop the beer drinking in Belgium. Highest consumption per capita in the world.

“The first Better Beer Festival in 2012, held at Taps Beer Bar in Changkat Bukit Bintang, drew about 200 people. Last October’s festival drew 3,500 craft beer lovers to Publika Shopping Gallery.

MyBeer had expected about 6,000 people to show up for this year’s festival.”

Same song, different verse - Mere days after my German friend said the muzzie invaders (my term, definitely not his) would never change what made Germany Germany, they were demanding to end Oktoberfest.
