Beers in Belgium

In terms of diversity, quality and tradition, Belgium is the #1 beer country in the world. For its population of a mere 10 million, there are almost a thousand different types of beer. Most of these are available for sale in the beer temple, just off Grand Place which offers a selection of 600 beers, many with their matching glass.

As a souvenir or gift idea, many beer sets are available. For example a box with the 6 Belgian trappist beers, which includes the elusive Trappist of West-Vleeteren (rated 'best beer in the world' by Ratebeer.com in 2005).
