Interesting facts about Belgian Beer:
In 2016, Belgian beer culture was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, recognising the country’s brewing traditions.
Belgium produces over 1,500 beers, from lagers and ales to sour lambics and strong Trappist brews. Each beer is crafted with unique recipes and brewing techniques.
Belgians believe the glass shape enhances the flavour and aroma of beer, so many beers have their own specially designed glass. For example, Chimay uses a chalice-style glass, while Duvel comes in a tulip glass.
Belgium is home to 6 of the world’s twelve Trappist breweries – these beers are brewed by monks in monasteries, with profits going to charities.
Lambic beers are made with spontaneous fermentation, using wild yeast in the air rather than cultivated yeast. Gueuze is a blend of young and aged lambics, also called “Belgian Champagne.”
Belgium’s oldest brewery is Brouwerij Roman, founded in 1545 and is still family-run today, producing beers like Adriaen Brouwer.
Westvleteren 12, a Trappist beer from the Saint-Sixtus Abbey, is often called one of the best beers in the world. It’s produced in limited quantities and can only be purchased on demand.
Belgians use beer in many recipes, like carbonnade flamande, a hearty beef stew made with dark beer, or mushrooms with gueuze.
There are many beer festivals in Belgium, such as the Brussels Beer Weekend and the Zythos Beer Festival, where you can taste unique brews.
Some Belgian beers, like Delirium Tremens, can have alcohol levels over 10%, making them much stronger than most beers worldwide.
