Why Belgian beers are so famous all over the world?

In addition to the typical fermentations (top and bottom), Belgian brewers use two other methods:

  • Spontaneous fermentation: the microflora most suitable for spontaneous fermentation is found around Brussels so this region is known for Lambic and Gueuze beers.
  • Mixed fermentation: it consists of mixing young and old beer and the most famous brewery is Izegem brewery.

Moreover, Belgian beers are so famous because of their excellence in quality and for their great variety. Tradition is very important and appreciated, but there is still room for creativity.
