Belgium is the only country in the world with a UNESCO Intangible Heritage Certification for Beer Culture, awarded in 2016. To celebrate 10 years of this special recognition Hoppiness will host a special beer tasting workshop around beer history.
Local Beer Sommelier Carien will take you through the history of Belgian beer, illustrated, of course, with delicious beer tasters taking you through the changing beer flavours of the 20th and 21st century.
You will learn things like:
What beers did people drink around 1900?
Which beers from 100 years ago are still around?
What is an Abbey beer and what is a Trappist beer?
Why do the Belgians have so many different beer glasses?
Which beers can age well and why?

We will also do a comparative tasting between a young and an aged Orval, so you can discover what happens during the aging of this beer.
The workshop will be held in the cozy private Hoppiness tasting room, full of beautiful beer decorations.
