How the Interwar Period Shaped Belgian Beer Culture
The events of the period between the two world wars had a big influence on daily life and on the Belgian Beer culture. From the roaring twenties to the popular World Exhibitions, from the American prohibition to the Great Depression: breweries were impacted immensely and had to adjust. Local beer experts Helene and Carien will be your hosts during these special workshops at their tasting rooms and take the participants through the changes of this time and the impact on Belgian beer culture. You will learn about a few beer styles that were popular then and see what happened to those styles and to the Belgian of those times.
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!
We had a full house on Saturday for our beer tasting for International Women’s Day. We tasted four beers made by amazing women in the beer industry and enjoyed an exciting pub quiz about women & beer.
Belgium has the most Trappist Beers in the world: five different trappist brands that are still producing their beers on the grounds of the abbey and each have their own unique story.
During this tasting we taste ales from all five of them, learn more about their stories, compare some of their beers and enjoy some trappist cheeses.
A special event at Hoppiness Brussels:
