Belgian
beer comprises the most varied and numerous collection
of beers in the world. Belgian beer-brewing's origins go back
to the Middle-Ages, when monasteries began producing beers. Naturally,
Belgians claim that theirs are the best beers in the world. This
view is supported by beer experts such as Michael Jackson. Although
beer production in Belgium is now dominated by Inbev (the world's
largest brewer by volume) and Alken Maes, there remain 115 breweries
in the country, producing about 500 standard beers. When special
one-off beer styles are included, the total number of types of
Belgian beer exceeds 1000. |
