Interview with Beer Idiots

Beer Idiots came to visit my tasting room and asked a lot questions about me & my business Hoppiness Brussels
Thanks so much for coming Ahmed! And sorry about being a little camera shy; I can talk about beer for hours, but when there is a camera in my face it suddenly seems harder to find my words 🙂

Women’s International Trophy Mainz

Last week I was in Mainz for the Women’s International Trophy. The Women’s International Trophy is a unique event in Germany and a top-level tasting: wines, beers, and spirits from all over the world are tasted by an international jury made up entirely of women. All the tasters, sommeliers, oenologists, etc. are experts in the field. It was great to be part of this event again and taste so many excellent beers!

Concours International de Lyon

I had a great time in Lyon last week. Two days of judging beers for Concours International de Lyon and meeting so many beer friends (again) and discussing beer together. It was an interesting and well organised event and it was lovely to discover the beautiful city of Lyon as well.
Definitely an experience to remember!
