The ninth edition of the Good Beer Guide Belgium has been published by real ale organisation CAMRA – showcasing over 1,500 beers and 650 of the best places to enjoy them. Written by beer and travel guide writer Tim Skelton, the revised and updated guide presents 400 brewers and lambic blenders who ensure Belgium remains one of the best beer destinations in the world. The book explores all three regions of Belgium, offering useful travel tips and recommendations on what to eat and where to
stay. With the beer industry in Belgium changing significantly in recent years, the guide includes an A-Z of breweries with rankings for those which are a must visit. “From blond ales and saisons to black beers and wild fermented lambics, this is the perfect guide for any tourist keen to experience Belgium’s diverse beer culture,” says Skelton. His independent research resulted in recommendations for 650 of the best places to enjoy these beers, from cosy cafés and specialist beer bars to brewery taprooms and world-renowned
festivals. The book has two forewords by Tim Webb, original creator and long-time curator of the guide, and by Yvan De Baets, co-founder of the famous De La Senne Brewery in Brussels. Skelton notes: “I’ve lived in Benelux for over 30 years, visited Belgium more than 100 times, and thought I knew everything about the country. But researching this new edition still led me to find undiscovered beer-y gems that I’d never previously been aware of.” The Good Beer Guide Belgium can be ordered from
