Hoppiness Newsletter May

We just send out our newsletter of May to all subscribers! This is how it starts 🙂

Hello everyone!

Last weekend was perfect for the Tour de Geuze, so beautiful and sunny! On Saturday I joined a bus full of Beer Idiots to tour around the Zenne Valley, and visited a lot of geuze makers. It was such a pleasure to look around and discover these places and their wonderful beers. I managed to visit seven different geuze makers over the weekend and will be posting the photos in the next days on my socials. It was magnificent to see so many rows of beautiful oak barrels in all sizes and foeders of thousands of litres! Belgium can be proud of the pure craft, beauty and flavour of its Geuze-makers and of the country’s long beer history and diversity in beer making. 

Did you know that this year marks the ten year anniversary of the UNESCO Intangible Heritage certification for the Belgian Beer Culture? To honour and celebrate this occasion I have made a special themed beer tasting… I will host this Beer History Workshop on a monthly basis, starting at the end of this month.

Later this week I will fly to my beloved Cape Town. I am very honoured and excited that I will be judging in the African Beer Cup and honestly, I can’t wait to see Table Mountain again.  🙂 

Cheers, Carien
