This book will guide you around Belgium's breweries, large and
small. Wherever you travel on Belgian roads, you will come across
brewers. Often invisible - lurking behind abbey walls, or tucked
away in castles, barns, stables, cafes, garages, kitchens or sheds
- brewers are making beer in kettles, basins, tanks, and whatever
else they have to hand! In large breweries you will find the
brewers in the control room, the 'cockpit' of the enterprise.
Entire dynasties are built around the industry; they are proud of
their brewing traditions, which go back as many as fifteen
generations. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, starters
are cobbling together their own equipment or buying basic brewing
kits. They are often acquainted with an experienced colleague, who
is only too happy to lend a helping hand and share wisdom and
experience. It is up to you whether or not you approve of their
beers. Are you voting for weak, strong, pale, fruity, zesty, spicy,
mild, sour, bitter or sweet? For accessible or layered, for a
warming beer or a thirst-quencher, a degustation beer or a
quaffable one? Tasting is the message. This book taps the keg,
encouraging you to weigh up all the options and make your choice.
During the past eight decades French vineyards, wineries, and
wine marketing efforts have undergone such profound changes--from
technological, scientific, economic, and commercial
standpoints--that the transformation is revolutionary for an
industry dating back thousands of years. Here Leo Loubre examines
how the modernization of Western society has brought about new
conditions in well-established markets, making the introduction of
novel techniques and processes a matter of survival for
winegrowers.
Not only does Loubre explain how altered environmental
conditions have enabled pioneering enologists to create styles of
wine more suited to contemporary tastes and living arrangements,
but he also discusses the social impact of the wine revolution on
the employees in the industry. The third generation of this new
viticultural regime has encountered working and living conditions
drastically different from those of its predecessors, while
witnessing the near disappearance of the working class and the
decline of small and medium growers of ordinary wines.
