From the timeless consistency of classic Trappist ales to seasonality of artisanal small batch farmhouse sours, Belgium has one of the greatest collections of breweries to be found anywhere on the globe. Sadly for most people "Belgian beer" means ordering a Stella, or occasionally getting a Chimay for a special occasion. Over the course of this 1 hour talk, we'll walk attendees through some of the hidden gems of Belgium. Come have a beer with Chris. He'll tell you about some of Belgium's most classic beers, what makes them special, and where to go in Ghent to get some more good beers. There will be drinking, tasting notes, and recommendations. Bring your favorite beer from wherever you're from to share at the bottle swap!
