Belgium, from where Pierre Marcolini operates, produces around 450 varieties of beer, with a specifically shaped glass for each, & some world renowned brews. The Trappist dark ales first brewed by monks who fled France after the Napoleonic period. The best-known of them: Chimay – served in a goblet-like glass. Hoegaarden is a fine example of Belgian Witbier (white), distinguished by its pale golden colour, extra fizz, sediment & hint of herbs, such as coriander.
