Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper)If you’re not familiar with Belgian beer, you might want to check out the dozens of different styles and regions. A great place to start is a brewery in Brussels. While Belgium’s beer culture is dominated by ales, the country’s other styles include fruit beers and juices. If you want to know more about Belgian beers, read the articles below. Then, you can decide what you want to drink next.

The first style is lambic, a spontaneously fermented beer produced in the Senne Valley in Belgium. These sour brews are often hazy, with thick head retention. Their low bitterness makes them complex and savory. Some brewers age their lambic for up to three years, and then blend it

with other beers to create fruity gueuze or fruity lambic. A few Belgian beers are so strong that they are best served in a tulip glass. The bulbous body and flared top make them perfect for retaining the aroma and head of the brew.

Westmalle Tripel is a classic Belgian beer, with a fruity aroma and soft maltiness. The best examples are described in several books by Jef Van Den Steen, an expert in beer in Belgium and author of several books. If you’re in the mood for a complex brew, a Westmalle Tripel might be just the ticket. However, you’ll need to know where to find it, and where to find it.

The first place to try Belgian beer is at Der Biertemple in Brussels. The market is called a temple and is packed with Belgian brews. A Brussels Card will get you 25% off the price of the beers, which is a great deal for a tourist. There are also locations of this beer market in Bruges. You can also buy wine and other alcoholic beverages at this temple, but if you want to get a taste of a particular beer, you can visit a local brewery or pub.

The Lindemans Lambik is a classic beer in Belgium. This dark brown ale is a great example of a Belgian wheat beer. It is brewed with equal parts malted barley and wheat. It is light and refreshing, and pairs well with many foods. It is a must-try in Belgium, and you can find it in the US in a bottle store. Its popularity has increased dramatically over the past few decades and the Trappist is one of the most popular varieties.

While a great beer can be enjoyed with food, a great meal should be paired with a good beer. Fortunately, Belgians have no shortage of fine-tasting restaurants and bars, and you can find a good one near you. Regardless of where you’re staying, a trip to a brewery in Belgium will be an unforgettable experience. Just make sure to bring your appetite and enjoy a great time with friends.
