BELGIUM, SURREALIST?
- NO, WELL MAYBE!
Belgium – surrealist? No, well maybe! Which other country in the world can boast having a beer culture that has Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage status? And also has an interactive discovery centre, a magical, multi-sensory experience open to all in a former stock exchange building?
Belgian beer absolutely deserves a special place devoted to the discovery and sampling of its brews: Belgian Beer World, the new resident of the famous Brussels Stock Exchange is doing just that! Because beer is much more than a Belgian tradition that continuously enriches and inspires the whole world.
Because it is part of small everyday pleasures as well as major celebrations in our country. Because this heritage is more vibrant than ever thanks to the creativity of brewers, the richness of ingredients, the diversity of techniques and of course, the expert taste buds of Belgian drinkers… We are delighted to announce the forthcoming opening of Belgian Beer World!
