Brewing beer in Belgium is a
noble tradition.
There is no doubt that Belgium is the
country of beer. What other country can offer more than 450 varieties of beer.
Belgium, with its widely varying landscape offers a range of beers with the most
contrasting tastes and flavors. Beer is deeply rooted in culture and tradition
and is more than just a drink.
These are certainly not the only reasons why Belgium deserves its title of Beer
Paradise. Belgian brewing has kept pace with technology and produces beers which
correspond to consumer demand, but at the same time Belgium maintains the
traditional character and range of beers which never fail to amaze the foreign
visitor.
The main claim to fame of the Belgian brewing industry is twofold: classical pilsner-beers
of the highest quality, brewed in more and more productive breweries, for which
there is the greatest demand.
And a series of other beers : abbey and trappist beers, gueuze, kriek, white
beers, Belgian ales, "Saisons" and other special beers which make our
brewing industry unique in the world.
Uniformity is one thing we do not have
to fear and the industry is glad that the consumer is becoming more and more a
beer connoisseur.
