Author Tim Webb has been touring Belgium to find the best places to visit, the best restaurants to go to and the best beer to drink, as well as educating the reader about how and where to enjoy Belgian beer in the UK.
Combining travel information with a specialist knowledge of Belgian beers provides an interesting insight into a beautiful country that produces some of the world’s most interesting beers.
“The book is a travel guide with sections on getting there, understanding the country, specialist tourism, bringing beer home and UK suppliers,” said Webb. “At heart, it’s still about politics and in particular the dynamic between the global dream-makers selling ‘white sliced’ beer and the artists who create the interesting stuff.”
Containing information on beer styles, Belgian brewers and the places to drink the beer in Belgium provides all the reader needs to know about beer and travel in Belgium, as well as including some quirky trivia about the Belgian brewing industry.
Webb continued: “Good Beer Guide Belgium is what happens if you look into why people travel and figure out that a lot of us do it to be somewhere else and enjoy something you can’t get at home. The Belgians make the finest, most enjoyable and extraordinary beers on Earth. The fact that they don’t realise it is a bonus. It’s great to be a tourist with a weapon that puts you ahead of the locals.”
Camra has joined forces with Eurolines to run a competition to win coach travel and accommodation for two to Brussels, giving one lucky winner and a friend the chance to sample the delights of Belgium and its beers first-hand.
Cave Direct, sponsors of the Good Beer Guide Belgium, has also offered 10 cases of Belgian beers as runners-up prizes. Enter the competition here. (This is a link to a third party website, and FoodBev.com accepts no responsibility in regards to the competition.)
