Belgium, when it comes to beer, is a place of dreams and inspiration. There are breweries that have stood as the mark of excellence for decades – or longer – that showcase old word traditional and sensibilities and have helped brewers and drinkers around the world better understand microbiology.
There are many well known brands, ones that delight and are spoken with in reverence. There are less-er known beers and breweries as well. In his new book Hidden Beers of Belgium, the writer and podcaster Breandán Kearney tells the stories that otherwise would have remained quiet. Engaging, thoughtful, and thought-provoking the profiles are illustrated by the wonderful work of photographer Ashley Johanna.
