Flanders is famously home of Flanders red and oud bruin, but also so much more. Great beer, great food, historic sites and friendly people await. Explore world famous brewers, including the famous Trappists, but...

There are some raw materials in the brewing world that are the butt of jokes or customers claim they don’t like them because they have heard bad or false things about them. Two brewing ingredients come to mind: Sabro hops, which were released in 2018 and crystal malt, which is used in many styles from English bitters to American amber ales. But are these ingredients really so bad? On the All About...

Beer is an art, but there is a lot of science behind it.  Thanks to science, brewers measure and adjust along the way, helping ensure that their artful beers come out as they had envisioned.  The science of beer has come a long way and yet, there is still so much to learn about the world’s favorite fermented beverage. But it’s not just about beer.  The science of beer has touched so many aspects o...

The eisbock story is a fun lore of beer myth, a hapless brewery employee left a barrel of doppelbock outside during a snowstorm in Germany and some of the beer froze, concentrating flavor and thus creating a whole new beer style. While the roots of this story may not wholly be true, it’s a fun addition to a beer style made by distillation processes at its most base level. These beers are rare in t...

Foam is perhaps the least appreciated aspect of beer.  Somebody even hate it, wanting a glass filled to the brim with liquid.  But experts insist that beer foam is important.  It is visually appealing, it is an indicator of quality and freshness, and it affects the mouthfeel and even the flavor of the beer. What makes good foam?  There are factors inside the brewhouse and outside the brewhouse tha...

At its most basic, whiskey is distilled beer.  And yet, beer makers and whiskey makers rarely share information, techniques and ingredients. In recent years, some brewers and whiskey makers are taking inspiration from beer, using craft beer ingredients like specialty malts and different yeast strains, to make more interesting base beer that is then distilled to new styles of beer.  And others are...

Social media is an important part of our lives. We wish people a happy birthday, find out about births or deaths, stay in touch with people, are entertained by hilarious videos and get our opinions out across to everyone (for better or worse). Breweries use social media as well, a sort of visual Yellow Pages to get out their vision, their beers and their events to the masses. But with an everchang...
