Belgian beer in Massachusetts
Lew Bryson asks “whether Massachusetts retailers, both on- and off-premise, or Massachusetts drinkers, get Belgian beer, and whether they’re selling and buying enough of these big-bottle, big-flavor, big-ticket beers. From my Philadelphia perspective, living in the biggest Belgian beer market in the country, where I have five local Belgian restaurants to choose from, Massachusetts is behind the curve. Is that a fair assessment?”
It’s a business story for Beverage magazine but it’s about one of our favorite subjects, beer from Belgium and beers inspired by Belgium, so you might learn a little bit.

That was a great story about the Publick House and Belgian beer making an impact in an bar community. I have also found that even the most devout beer consumers of American mass produced beers, like my father, will turn their heads after their first taste of a Belgian or a Belgian-inspired beer. The test beer I have used was St. Bernadus Tripel….to great effect.
