    Zythos Festival. I’m not sure I understood that Belgium has a craft movement until today. It’s young, ambitious, and standing in the shadow of giants.

    Rodenbach brewmaster Rudi Ghequire asked us not to take pictures in the brew house. I asked if it would be ok to take pictures amongst the giant oak casks. “Of course” he replied “they are the soul of the brewery”

    Brouwerij De Plukker proudly points out that it is a hop farm first, and a small brewery second. They brew with 100% homegrown hops, creating a delicate blonde ale showcasing a bright Belgian hop aroma. We were treated to a tour and tasting by Brewmaster Kris and Hopgrower Joris (and his daughter). The love and care they have for hops shows in every sip.

    Inspiring tour and tasting at De Ranke from Brewmaster and Owner Nino Bacelle. He’s creating Belgian modern classics with core beliefs in only brewing with whole cone hops, no filtration and no pasteurization for every beer.
