On the field
On the ground
A tasting critic active on social media and in the Belgian amateur scene, he is one of those field correspondents whose local recommendations are worth far more than any international ranking. His knowledge of East Flanders producers — from large family breweries to new craft addresses — is a precious asset for anyone wanting to explore this region overlooked by beer tourists.
