They're pretty much like any other country. Drink at a cafe, brasserie etc. You'll pay some pretty variable prices that don't differ much from what the costs are in Oz. Some fair, some high some just down right ridiculous
However if you're lucky enough to have a barfridge in your apartment/hotel room. The good old Belgian Supermarch has most of the desirable brands at prices that will make you cry and want to fill two trolleys. Example would be a bottle of Corsendonk or Maredsous for about 80 euro cents or thereabouts. :super:
Imagine going to a liquor dept. of supermarket and having about 400 beers to choose from.
Just look for some of the bigger supermarkets if you choose this road. You can go to some of the touristy beer shops like the Bier Tempel, get a brilliant selection and be overcharged somewhat. However these places rock for beer glasses.
That said cafes will cost more but you're getting the whole experinece from a tourist perspective as opposed to being huddled up in your room. B)
