Discover craft beer in Brussels
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!
Things to do in Brussels! What to do on Easter Monday?!
Hop hop hoppiness!
At Hoppiness Brussels we know what you want for Easter… Tasty craft beer paired with delicious chocolate. Well, look no further! This Easter we’re hosting a mouthwatering beer & chocolate tasting.

This weekend we did a beer tasting workshop. With a lovely small group we tasted beers blindly, judged them and were completely surprised by the winners. We played with macerated flavours and discovered how easily a cassis flavour masks a not-so-great-beer. And we paired several cheeses and chocolates with different beers to see what we liked best. A great way of playing with beer and flavours. I will definitely organise this again.
