Belgium’s beer culture is renowned worldwide.

There are household brands from multinational conglomerates such as Stella Artois and Leffe.

There are the Trappist ales, produced within the walls of Cistercian monasteries, such as Orval and Chimay.

And there are beers produced by multi-generational family breweries such as the iconic Duvel brand from the Moortgat dynasty or the Delirium Tremens range from Brouwerij Huyghe.

But under the hood of Belgium’s famous beer scene, beyond the big-name brands, exists a trove of breweries and blenderies producing lesser-known but extraordinary beers.

These more unfamiliar beers offer exceptional quality, diversity, and character – so much so that they’ve helped Belgium become the only country in the world whose beer culture is recognized by UNESCO as part of the “Cultural Heritage of Humanity.”

But for beer enthusiasts, these hidden beers are often difficult to discover because of language barriers, Belgian beer’s complex culture, and just the overwhelming number of beers in Belgium.

That is, until now.
