I've been living in Antwerp for three months now, and I take this almost everywhere I go! The authors have a fantastic sense of humor, but most importantly, a keen sense of judgment about what makes a good, artisanal beer. They don't hold any punches in hating the big beer corporations that produce alco-pop fruit beers and predictable lagers, and they're equally unsparing in their praise of fine brewers with a love of their craft.

From the supermarket to the cafe to the brewery tour, this volume is an indispensable guide to enjoying the hundreds of delicious beers Belgium has to offer!
