Duvel, at 8.5%, isn't even the strongest, some go up to 12%. It played a role in my life as well... My first ever job (long ago) was as a sound engineer for Belgian radio and TV. One evening we were recording Schubert's piano trio op.99 at the famous Flagey studio 4. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagey_Building#Recording_studios> The producer, who also was a music teacher, had engaged one his students to turn the pages for the piano player. After the recording he asked me if I could bring her home, as that was on my way back to Antwerp. So we ended up in the small village of Breendonk which has no claims to fame except for being where the Duvel is brewed. We had some Duvels at the small cafe opposite the brewery and ended up waggling to her parents' home. A few days later we saw each other again, and became 'an item' that lasted for almost ten years.
