Disputes about the name of beverages are commonplace in our industry. These then either have a political, nationalistic or trademark connotation. Well, then at least you have something to discuss while drinking beer...

Emmental, that's the cheese with the holes. Pilsner, that's a beer first brewed by German brewmaster Joseph Groll in the Bohemian city of Plzeň (German: Pilsen). But ... Read more ...

A look into the beer glass

Gose and Geuze

On the one hand, an old German beer style that is now produced all over the world and, depending on the interpretation, also resembles a fruit smoothie. On the other hand, a beer that some call the "Champagne of Belgium". But if you take a closer look, you will find amazing similarities between the beer styles "Geuze" and "Gose".

There is a danger of confusion when ordering drinks. Especially if you are not yet familiar with the local drinking culture. A Cüpli can quickly become a "Hümpli". ... Read more ...

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.
