For centuries, brewing has been at the very heart of Belgium and forms a large part of the country’s culture. Golden or blonde, dubbel or tripel, white or wheat, lambic or Flemish red to name just a few - with the scale of beer types in Belgium it is hardly surprising that when all specialist and one-off brews are included there are an estimated 8,700 different beers.

Beer is an essential element of German culture and is intrinsic to its national identity, however this is not to say that there is a beer ‘monoculture’ within the country. The country itself was only unified in 1871, turning 26 separate state kingdoms into a single nation. Each of these separate states had their own takes on beer culture, many of which survive to this day.

The United States has a wonderful heritage of brewing which can be traced back to Dutch, English and German settlers, with India pale ale, brown ales, porters and stouts, as well as the more familiar pilsner-style lagers, being widely brewed. Because of the distinctive flavours of American hops, pale ale and IPAs are considered to be a type in their own right, not forgetting ‘steam’ beer, the first style of beer to originate from the USA.
