Farm to Philly - Philly Beer Week 2015 goes to Belgium
 (click to visit full gallery of photos at Picasa) |
Figuring many of you catch my stuff in social-land, I'm gonna go out on a limb and presume that you're aware I just returned from Belgium.
Brussels, to be specific. With Philly Beer Week, Free Will Brewing, and a cast of characters exploring the Belgian beer landscape and brewing a collaboration beer at Hof ten Dormaal in Tildonk to be even more specific.
And if you didn't catch all the social love that I gave to this trip, you may have caught the Philly.com food/beverage blog — in conjunction with Philly Beer Week — that John Stemler (Free Will co-owner/brewer) and I contributed to while across the pond.
Rather than repeat here, below I've gathered a handy index that you can go exploring on your own. The one additional thing you get here, however, is many more pictures. Click above on our group picture at Cantillon to head over to Picasa for a much larger photo gallery than was included at Philly.com.
(link to) Pre-travel thoughts and planning
— The PBW/Philly.com crew thought it would be a good start to talk about some pre-trip thoughts, planning, expectations, etc. So we did. May not be all that riveting, but it set the groundwork.
(link to) En route
— Slightly more riveting than the first entry, this got into more of the trip across the pond and arrival.
(link to) Monday, Feb. 2
— Now things are really humming
— Moeder Lambic, Delirium Cafe, Grand Place
(link to) Tuesday, Feb. 3
— Bruges must be experienced up close and personal to be appreciated. Hopefully, we've helped with that.
— Le Pain Quotidien. Halve Maan brewery. Cambrinus. De Garre.
— Walking. Churches. Bridges. Canals. Food. Beer. Not exactly in that order or quantity.
(link to) Wednesday, Feb. 4
— I referred to this day as epic. In hindsight, I stand by that.
— Cantillon, Nuëtnigenough. Never enough. Indeed.
(link to) Thursday, Feb. 5
— The day that this trip was all about. Brew day at Hof ten Dormaal in Tildonk, just east of Brussels.
— And, back to Brussels for Le Coq, Cafe Bizon, and probably a place or two lost to the beer-soaked streets of Brussels.
(link to) Friday, Feb. 6
— More epictasticality. Boon, 3 Fonteinen, Lambics, trains. Classic Belgian/French dining.
(link to) John's review of Feb. 5-7
— Stemler takes a crack at knocking out three days of catch-up writing in one entry.
(link to) My post-trip wrap
— A huge shout-out to all involved, including the importer 12% Imports.

There's this little trip to Belgium next week
Post by The Brew Lounge.
Remember that raffle that I won in December from Philly Beer Week and 12% Imports? Well, it's finally here. Not that it snuck up on me all that much, but any ideas I had about preparing adequately to maximize my travels have all but evaporated at this point.
I know I have a flight, a hotel room, and a valid passport. The weather looks clear (and cold) leaving Philly and overcast/rainy (and not quite as cold) when arriving in Brussels.
Beyond that, oy.
That's not really true, though. The level of communication has been much higher than expected amongst all the principals involved in the trip. Brian Ewing of 12% Imports (the importer of the host brewery, Hof ten Dormaal) is picking up the travel tab for myself and the brewer I tapped, John Stemler of Free Will Brewing, and has been playing his liaison role between the brewing entities on both sides of the pond. This role has become even more critical in light of the devastating fire that HtD suffered earlier in January. They continue to work like crazy at their brewery just east of Brussels to prepare for our brew day on February 5.
The dialogue between the brewers, myself, Tom Peters (of Monk's Cafe), William Reed (Standard Tap), Casey Parker (Jose Pistolas), and others around the recipe specifications has also taken on a life of its own in long-running e-mail conversations. While it's still too soon to say with 100% certainty, you can bet we'll be talking about the recipe next week as we tweet, burp, share, post, blog, bleep, blurp, write, and take pictures along the way. The free-wheeling conversation leading up to the trip has been fun and educational for me as an outsider to the professional brewing world — or at least to the part that involves recipe formulation, ingredient planning and sourcing, etc.
Side threads have also sprouted in e-mail around other group excursions apart from brew day. Staying in Brussels, Cantillon is an obvious choice. Drie Fonteinen and Boon are also likely visits. As he has taken the lead in planning these additional visits, the respect that Tom Peters garners in his home away from home in Belgium is immediately obvious.
Finally, as Stemler and I will both be coming into Belgium prior to the larger group (we expect a total of 11 from Philly, I think is our last count, in the complete traveling group), he has been taking the lead in establishing other brewery meetups and possible brew days in order to further his professional relationships abroad during this trip.
So my rough count is that there have been over 130 e-mails over the past few weeks leading up to what should be a most-excellent trip. Now, it's time for me to count some Euros I have at my home desk and figure out if/how to get more. Set up my international data and calling plan. Figure out the best route into the city from the airport (likely the train). Determine which, if any, "gift beers" I'd like to pack for the new friends we make over there. Clothes, toiletries? Eh, minor stuff!
Oh, and the minor footnote of being 89% of the way through editing my 416-page book manuscript, due by the end of this week--is that today?! Separate story for a different day. Maybe I'll write something about it on the plane ride to Belgium.
While I'm in Belgium, expect to see updates here at The Brew Lounge. I'll also be forwarding some material to Philly.com for Michael Klein to include in his column. Philly Beer Week will also have some fun content that we'll be chipping in with along the way. And the usual social media outlets — The Brew Lounge on Facebook and The Brew Lounge on Twitter — should be alive and well during this trip and full of fun things found, heard, and tasted along the way.
Here we go....

Beer Calendar: What To Do in February 2015
Love is in the air this second month of 2015. February begins with a big football game, groundhog day, hits the middle of the month with the firkinteenth and Valentine's Day, and rounds out the month with a few festivals.
Not too shabby for a 28-day month.
While not really qualifying as an event, I still feel inclined to share with you that I'll be helping make a beer in Belgium the first week of the month. John Stemler from Free Will and I will be joining a Philly Beer Week contingent as part of the PBW '15 collaboration brewing trip. My part, you may recall, is the result of winning the annual raffle back in December. Read about it over here at Monk's Cafe's website and follow along on Philly Beer Week's website
As always, if I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.

Beer Calendar: What To Do in January 2015
Annnnd, just like that, it's 2015. The holidays are behind us, are you relieved? The raging parties of New Year's Eve have (presumably) subsided by now, have you recovered? 2014 was a rough year in terms of politics, policing, and conflict but another banner (if not crowded) year for great beer. Let's hope for, and more importantly work toward, a more peaceful world in 2015. Maybe a few good beer sessions would help.
To that end, I present for your review the January 2015 beer events calendar around the greater Philadelphia region. Always a bit tricky capturing a full list in January given that the planners are a bit sluggish coming off the hectic holiday season. Hope to see some of you along the way out there.
As always, if I'm missing any that you feel should be on here, let me know.
