Beer was brewed because water was unsafe to drink and monasteries were a prime source for brewing the safe drink.<br /><br />Belgium beers as the are now are linked back to the Trappist Monks who restarted beer productions in monasteries after the French revolution. This led on to Abbey Beers (also from monasteries).<br /><br />History is fascinating :-)<br /><br />CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-27258978966303024052017-09-13T03:24:19.477+10:002017-09-13T03:24:19.477+10:00Plus the water in SA is undrinkable.Plus the water in SA is undrinkable.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-26070160415914313102017-09-12T12:11:01.168+10:002017-09-12T12:11:01.168+10:00I cannot make claim to familiarity with Belgian be...I cannot make claim to familiarity with Belgian beers. It is not a country likely to have a 'tradition' as such, being a recent invention, but no doubt the regional varieties around there have their followers. And yes, for some reason I think they might well be tasty.<br /><br />Many glasses means many names. Do they have a Poirot to find out where the thirst went ? :)Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-40536535274961121952017-09-12T10:29:52.173+10:002017-09-12T10:29:52.173+10:00Belgium beers are of varying strengths and all of ...Belgium beers are of varying strengths and all of them are served in a specific glass. The stronger Belgium beers are intended to be drunk slowly as wine.<br /><br />English beer needs to be served in a pint glass or maybe a half pint glass for the ladies who like the brew. I have to confess that with a few exceptions I am not a fan of English Beer. Belgium beer however... ;-)CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.com
