STORY

In 2001, Belgian schools waged a new front in the war against childhood obesity. In an effort to keep kids away from sugary drinks, a plan emerged to swap soda and lemonade for a healthy alternative: beer.

SRSLY Ken.  Belgium is pretty cool.  Been there twice, would not hesitate to go again.  I would love to spend a whole month there.

I hadn't heard this before and the article I linked to was dated October 14, 2014.

I'm sure Belgium *IS* cool... I just don't care for their beers. I'm sure I could go there and find some non-funky beers. Like... in a school maybe. :P

If I remember right from an article I read the school beers were based on low ABV saisons.

I think it's a very interesting concept and would at least provide some type of nutrition to the kids over soda etc, but I'd still worry that even the most minor abv would have an affect. 

 

As a side joke, if marijuana is a gateway to many hard drugs (not), than drinking "school beer" might lead to an addiction to Tripels and Gran Cru's... (shakes in worry) hahahahaha...................

I'm telling you man, there is quite a diversity of beer there.  It isn't all bubblegum and brett
