Belgium is the only country in the world whose beer culture is recognised by UNESCO as part of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Many Belgian beers are world famous, like Stella, Duvel, or the Trappist ales, but underneath this hood there exists a trove of incredible beers which are lesser known.
In this book beer writer Breandán Kearney and photographer Ashley Joanna take you on a journey of discovery to 30 of the most exciting and interesting beers from Belgium you never knew existed. Not only will you get to know - and be tempted to taste - these unheralded Belgian beers, thanks to the story-focused photos and the descriptions of style, tasting notes, ingredients and so on, you'll also learn about the remarkable places where these beers are produced and the stories of the inspiring people who make them.
The selection is the result of 10 years of completely independent on-the-ground reporting and hundreds of conversations with Belgian brewers and beer professionals.
