Bruxellensis - Episode IV
Following on from the last years' success, here is the fourth running of the Bruxellensis Festival. We are adhering even more to its original concept, which, unfortunately, is almost unique: we only feature characterful beers.
There will thus be present brewers producing beers, the majority of which, if not all, have well-defined characteristics. The aim is to support and defend those who have made the decision to turn their back on easy commercial gain but rather have adopted a fighting stance against beers with little flavour. They are thus brewers who wander off the well-trodden path. They work in breweries on a human, rather than an industrial scale, using traditional and natural methods, and are guided by higher motives than an unbridled pursuit of profit. They are small in size, but their contribution to our brewing heritage is enormous: they are the ultimate guarantors of the preservation of centuries old tradition and produce beers with a genuine diversity of flavours.
These flavours are the main theme of Bruxellensis: we have deliberately chosen to present breweries which buck the predominant trend practised today by Belgian brewers, who appear to be determined to offer beers that are far too sweet and fruity. The brewers featured at the festival put character and authenticity first, these qualities being at the spearhead of the beers from our region! |
