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 🙂
Find the interview here on youtube:
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!
Brussels Spring Beer Tasting
Brussels in the sun, there is nothing like it! Good vibes and good local craft beers in abundancy.
During this Spring Beer Tasting you’ll taste four thirst quenching beers. Each one of them perfect to enjoy on a sunny terrace. Discover your new favourite local beers, chosen carefully and introduced by beer sommelier Carien. As always at Hoppiness Brussels, you will get a tasty fingerfood pairing with the beers and hear more about beer, breweries and local beer events and culture.
Let’s get some sun and fun in our beer glass!
And for those that can’t or won’t have alcohol, we’ll have a nice selection of alcoholfree beers! Just make sure to take the right ticket 😉

Belgian Beer Weekend 2026🍻 at the Grand Place of Brussels
It started a little wet on Friday but it got quite cozy with 30 people under one umbrella😅
Shared a beer with many lovely people but also managed to not find just as many 🤪 Hope to catch you next year!

Chimay Geel (yellow) (6.5%) brewed by Chimay brewery in the Abbey of Scourmont (Belgium)
This latest beer from this Trappist brewery was brewed to celebrate the Abbey's 175 years birthday.
The beer is blonde with a fresh hoppy aroma. The taste is malty with a strong presence of spices,like cardamom and koriander, with hints of citrus.

La Tarte non-alcoholic sour ipa by Brasserie Janine & La Bagarre at Co-Hop in Brussels.This tasty thirst quencher has a mild sourness, a grainy base and fresh hoppy notes of tropical fruits.

Sophia Lambic (6.5%) by Brasserie Cantillon in Brussels in a collab with Cantina Giardino winery.
Got to taste this special blend at the brewery. It's made of 2 year old lambic beer with white grape (Greco di tufo) pomace that fermented in amphora jugs for several months. After those months the grapes are pressed to extract the liquid and the dry residue is sent to Cantillon to be added to the lambic barrels.They use the equivalent of 300 grams of grapes per liter. The result is very tasty, still distinctively lambic but with lovely notes of white wine and late harvested grapes.

Coney hazy session IPA (4.5%) brewed by Brew York in York (England).
This beer is full of fruity hops, quite a lot of mango flavour followed by citrus fruits. The body is creamy and also juicy, what a delicious thirst quencher!
Coney means rabbit, but this beer is also a nod to Coney street in York.

Breakwater taproom & pizzeria in Dover (UK). Lovely place with great locally brewed craft beers and delicious wood fire pizza (that I ate immediately and forgot to photograph). What a perfect place to start an English holiday! 😅

Sion Lentebok (6%) brewed by Brouwerij Sion within the walls of the New Sion monastery in Diepenveen (the Netherlands)
This beer is almost amber in colour and has a nice malty aroma. The taste is full of malts with some hints of caramel and fruit and a well balanced and refreshing hop bitterness. Brewed according to the trappist tradition with local ingredients.

Last month we visited Brasserie Atlas in Bon Secours and it was definitely worth the drive from Brussels!
Atlas is a welcoming, historic tavern right on the border with France. They serve delicious food, all beautifully presented.
All beers are from the nearby brewery @brasseriecaulier which makes it a nice occasion to try different beers from their range. I had the blonde and triple of the renewed Bon Secours range, but of course they have Paix Dieu as well and their tasty alcohol free beer Zero Pression.
In my photos you can see the dishes we had. They looked amazing and tasted absolutely delicious. Each dish was a perfect ensemble of flavours.
Starters: Trompe L'oeil (tomato mozarella) and Tartare de Saumon
Mains: Rigatoni with burrata and Poisson de la criee with saffron and vegetables.
Thank you so much to Brasserie Caulier for the invitation! We will definitely come back. 😊

G de Goudale Millesime 2026 Haka (7.9%) brewed by Elaborado for Brasserie Goudale in Arques (France).
This years grand cru is made with three different hops from New Zealand: motueka, nectaron and nelson sauvin.
The strong blonde, golden beer is full of sweet maltiness, some alcohol warmth and sweetness and tasty fruity hop notes, like pineapple and peach. A good way to get in the holiday mood😅

Pinard de Bruxelles (7.5%) brewed and aged by BBP Dansaert (Brussels), bottled in March 2021. Beer made with Mourvedre grape must from the Languedoc and then aged in oak barrels from Bordeaux, Moscatel and Chardonnay.
Five years in a bottle and wow, what a nice beer blend! Wild yeast of course in both aroma and taste, also a mild and well rounded acidity with notes of grapes, a hint of fortified wine even, notes of prunes, spices and wood as well. YUM!😊

Moose Hammer hazy pale ale (5.5%) brewed by Woodstock Brewery in Cape Town (South Africa)
Lots of hoppy fruitiness in this thirst quenching ale; mango, peach and tangerine coming nicely together. Very easy drinking and comes with a warning on the can: you might get as hammered as a moose🫎…
