About
Belgium produces over 1,500 types of beer, including the famed Trappist ales brewed by monks (Westmalle, Chimay, Orval, Westvleteren, Rochefort). Belgian beer culture is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Key styles include witbier, saison, lambic, gueuze, and Flemish red ale. The In de Vrede café near Westvleteren abbey is a pilgrimage for beer lovers.
