HIDDEN BEERS OF BELGIUM

Belgium is the only country in the world whose beer culture has been recognised by UNESCO as ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’. Aside from our many world famous beers, such as Duvel, Stella or Trappist, there are many more hidden gems to be discovered.

After years of research, writer Breandán Kearney and photographer Ashley Joanna bundled 24 of the most exciting unknown Belgian beers in this beautiful publication. You can read about the inspiring origin stories of the beers and the people that brew them, discover technical facts about the beers and the places where can enjoy them.



For the cover we chose a metallic burnt orange that changes in tone, reflecting the different ranges of beers including in the book.

The contents table is devised as a map so each of the 24 beers can be located geographically. They are grouped into colour-coded chapters; for instance, the first chapter is Thirst Crushers, beers that are thirst-quenching and low in alcohol.

Each beer has its own chart with technical facts, accompanied by icons that represent appearance, aroma, flavour, ingredients, …

The layout of the stories is inspired by classic magazine design.
