Maisons de maître (and other buildings)
Whilst in between jobs after moving to Brussels, I took time to learn the communes and enjoy the architecture.

Straffe Hendrik Brugs Quadrupel 11°
3/5. Strong on alcohol but not obviously so. Licorice and rooty vegetable notes. Rather thinner than expected.

Wostyntje
3/5. Cloudy, earthy beer with deep coriander flavour and a touch of mustard, though not as strong tasting as expected.

Brotherhood [Taegukgi]
The Korean War from a Korean (male) perspective and not a yank in sight.

Winterkoninkske
4/5. A drinkable winter warmer packed with plenty of flavours appropriate for the time of year.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
