A look into the beer glass

Saison - The beer style from Belgium

Christmas beer, spring beer, summer beer. Many breweries offer recurring beer specialities every year. But the beer style "Saison" describes an old Belgian beer style that has hardly anything to do with the beers of these breweries.

Strictly speaking, the Saison beer style comes from Wallonia, the French part of Belgium. Belgium, known for frites and chocolate, is not least interesting for beer lovers. But even if ... Read more ...

A look into the beer glass

Weizenbier

In the past, it was often the only speciality beer on the bar menu. Today, the good old wheat beer has to share this place with all kinds of IPAs, stouts and saisons - if it's still on the bar menu at all. No wonder some breweries have adapted their wheatbeer to the zeitgeist.

A look into the beer glass

India Pale Ale

Most people probably still remember their first sip of IPA - and for many, the intense bitterness will have shown in their facial muscles. Today, however, people have become accustomed to more bitterness in beer. The IPA is no longer missing from any beer menu.

Does it have to be like this? This, if I remember correctly, was my exact reaction to the Punk IPA from Brewdog that I had in front of me 10 years ago. At that time ... Read more ...

More Swissness thanks to Swiss malt

The little malting barley that is grown in Switzerland has to be taken abroad for malting. Or rather "had to", because there are now some smaller and soon there will even be some larger malting plants in Switzerland.

It takes four ingredients to make beer. But apart from malt, hops and yeast, water is usually the only really local thing about beer. But even though water is the biggest ... Read more...
