ALL OVER the world, the beer market is being transformed. "Craft beer is now on everyone's lips, but for us here in Belgium these hand-crafted brews are not really anything new. Our specialty beers have a long tradition behind them, essentially they're in a way the grandparents of the present-day craft beer," explains Xavier Vanhonsebrouck, CEO and proprietor of Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck. The brewery has 30 types of beer made with top-fermented, spontaneous and mixed fermentation. The Kasteel Rouge, a high-strength beer with a cherry aroma, is sold in more than 60 countries. The latest addition is Filou, a Belgian Ale with an alcohol content of 8.5%.
