While there are hundreds of books about breweries in Alsace, there has been no book to date of tell the story of Flemish breweries. This book speaks about:
– The origins of beer
– Beer production
– The Golden Age of Flemish breweries

Style: There were over 220 breweries in coastal and inland Flanders in 1900, whereas there is only one today: the 3 Monts Brewery! "This book sets down brewers' stories and anecdotes in writing, so our heritage will not be forgotten. Through this book, I wanted to be able to leave a trace for future generations, of what my grandfather Pierre Ricour (who founded the 3 MONTS), and his brewer friends had spent their lives building up." Pierre Marchica, President of the 3 Monts Brewery, and the man at the origin of this project. |
