A Journey Through Belgian Beer Styles

Belgium's beer culture is renowned for its variety and depth, encompassing styles like Trappist ales, lambics, and Flanders red ales. Trappist beers, brewed within monasteries, are celebrated for their complexity and depth. Notable examples include Chimay, known for its rich, fruity flavors, and Rochefort, which offers a deep, malty profile. Lambics, fermented through spontaneous fermentation, result in a tart, effervescent beer. Gueuze, a blend of young and old lambics, is particularly popular. Flanders red ales, such as Duchesse de Bourgogne, are aged in oak barrels, imparting a sour, fruity character reminiscent of fine wine.
