Dating back to the 12th century, Belgian beers have left their culinary mark. Initially brewed with a low-alcohol content, beer was once used as a safer alternative to the country’s available drinking water supply. These days, monks in nearby abbeys, as well as large-scale breweries, have created an amazing array of hoppy deliciousness known around the world.
Have a taste for yourself in the stunning medieval city of Bruges! Celebrating 13 years, the Bruges Beer Festival takes place Feb. 1-2 in the city center marketplace.
