Craft Beer
It
has to be stated that Belgian beer has the enviable capacity to change
people's lives, or at least influence or enrich their day-to-day
existence. One glass of the right Belgian beer can leave you feeling
like you are on cloud nine and going on a beer tour of Belgium is
tantamount to changing your life. The first time I traveled there, my
eyes had been opened to the beauty and attraction of Belgium. I wanted
to go back soon. We were made for each other. The rest is history.I
lived in Seattle during the rise of the craft beer movement in the '80s
and '90s, and developed an appreciation and passion for many different
styles of beer. During this time, my girlfriend introduced me to my
first Belgian ale--Chimay. I proceeded to study and sample Belgian ales,
appreciate them and learn why they taste so delicious and different
than any other beers in the world. Since then, I’ve toured Belgium
extensively and now am a well-versed and passionate home brewer and
consumer of Belgian and Belgian-style ales.
