Belgian Beer Trails

This structured guide will lead you around Belgium's most beautiful breweries and beer trails, with magnificent photography and informed advice From the author of the much acclaimed Belgian Beer Book ISBN Contains plenty of tips for tourists, and accompanies an app to help you organise your trip This book will guide you around Belgium's breweries, large and small. Wherever you travel on Belgian roads, you will come across brewers. Often invisible - lurking behind abbey walls, or tucked away in castles, barns, stables, cafés, garages, kitchens or sheds - brewers are making beer in kettles, basins, tanks, and whatever else they have to hand! In large breweries you will find the brewers in the control room, the 'cockpit' of the enterprise. Entire dynasties are built around the industry; they are proud of their brewing traditions, which go back as many as fifteen generations. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, starters are cobbling together their own equipment or buying basic brewing kits. They are often acquainted with an experienced colleague, who is only too happy to lend a helping hand and share wisdom and experience. It is up to you whether or not you approve of their beers. Are you voting for weak, strong, pale, fruity, zesty, spicy, mild, sour, bitter or sweet? For accessible or layered, for a warming beer or a thirst-quencher, a degustation beer or a quaffable one? Tasting is the message. This book taps the keg, encouraging you to weigh up all the options and make your choice.Author: Erik Verdonck,author Contributors: Erik Verdonck,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 170 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: Illustrated Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 26 May 2017 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Lannoo Publishers Author/Director/Artist: Erik Verdonck Dimension (cm): 248x200x24 mm Package Dimension (cm): 24x245x203 mm Item Weight (g): 907 Package Weight (g): 898
