Pour Another Round heads across the pond and visits with Yvan from Brasserie de la Senne in Brussels, Belgium. Yvan is a passionate brewer and brewery owner and brings you the Brussels People's Beer! In our very first episode from Belgium, Yvan talks with us about quality and the desire to always do better.  From the beginning, Brasserie de la Senne has brewed bitter beers - bitterness is the key characteristic of their beers. Why? They wanted to brew beers to their liking that could no longer be found on the market. You'll also find really solid low alcohol beers at Brasserie de la Senne (no N/As though!). The Taras Boulba (4.5%) is “the” beer for quenching your thirst and you still get amazing flavor!Brasserie de la Senne takes great pride in being a local brewery and focused on the Brussels region through and through. Exports are limited, however, their beers are available in a dozen countries, with a leading presence in the United States, Italy and Japan. Follow Pour Another Round:Facebook: /PourAnotherRoundPodInstagram: @PourAnotherRoundPodWebsite: pouranotherround.com Follow Pour Another Round: Facebook: /PourAnotherRoundPodInstagram: @PourAnotherRoundPodWebsite: pouranotherround.com

In this episode of BierTalk, Markus Raupach interviews Yvan De Baets, co-founder and brew master of Brasserie de la Senne in Brussels. Yvan shares his journey into brewing, from his early inspiration at Cantillon Brewery to co-founding Brasserie de la Senne, which played a key role in reviving Brussels' brewing scene. He also discusses the values that drive his work, such as sustainability and quality, and the social aspects of beer. Yvan explains the importance of traditional brewing techniques, the influence of Belgian beer history, and his passion for creating balanced, characterful beers like their flagship Zinnebir and session beer Taras Boulba...

Calling all tripel enthusiasts and those seeking an adventurous sip! Today, we're venturing into the "Wicked Tripel" from Brasserie de la Senne, a collaboration with Pete Slosberg. This 8% ABV Belgian brew takes a unique twist, incorporating cocoa nibs from Frederic Blondeel during fermentation.

Both Yvan de Baets, cofounder of Brasserie de la Senne (https://www.brasseriedelasenne.be) (Brussels), and Eric Toft, brewmaster for Private Landbrauerei Schönram (https://www.schoenramer.de) (Schönram, Germany) have appeared on the podcast in the past, but for this special panel discussion, recorded live in Brussels, we've brought them back to discuss a topic that's increasingly front of mind for brewers around the world—understanding European-grown hops. Extreme heat and severe weather events have increased in frequency, making it more and more difficult to source the highest quality European-grown hops. Yet both have developed and employed strategies not just to evaluate growers and understand the progress of the crop each year, but to learn and understand the benefits and drawbacks of each new crop while hedging against downside risks. In this episode, they discuss: shifts in the drinking patterns of European drinkers declining contracted hops and hedging with overstock from the surrounding harvest years positive and negative traits when evaluating hops still on the bine building deeper relationships directly with hops growers avoiding the trap of negotiating on hops price evaluating irrigation methods and field structure harvest timing and its increasing impact on certain Noble varieties testing and sensory for new-harvest hops maintaining the cold chain from baling and storage through pelletizing the biggest challenges and the biggest opportunities for European hops in the near term And more!

La Brasserie de la Senne est à l'origine du renouveau de la bière « craft » à Bruxelles. Elle a œuvré entre autres à remettre les bières bien houblonnées au goût du jour, avant que celles-ci ne deviennent à la mode. En plus de celles-ci, sa gamme comprend des bières de fermentation mixte barriquées en fûts de chêne, ainsi que des bières refermentées avec une levure Brettanomyces locale. Connue par les amateurs du monde entier pour ses bières de caractère mais bien équilibrées, sa réputation s'est forgée sur une exigence de qualité et de constance, une absence de compromis et une fabrication totalement naturelle, ainsi qu'une sélection extrêmement pointue des matières premières, en lien direct avec les producteurs.

Brussels is widely acknowledged as one of the world's greatest beer cities. But according to today's guest, author, podcaster, and beer writer Eoghan Walsh, it's a curious distinction for a town that until recently only had a single brewery. On this third episode of the Beer Travelers podcast, we dive deep into the history and current state of beer and brewing in Brussels, Belgium. Eoghan has a point. Beer lovers, especially those here in the US, tend to canonize Belgium and Brussels. We speak adoringly of its cafe culture, the care with which each beer is served. Much of that stems from the unique place that a brewery such as Cantillon holds in the hearts of all beer fans. But in reality, the history of beer in Brussels has been up and down for the better part of a century. Even in more recent decades, the city's beer and brewing scenes have been in great peril. Assisted in part by that adoration of beer geeks from around the globe, and of course their tourist dollars, Brussels is making a comeback. And today Eoghan Walsh walks us through the city's vibrant and curious brewing history and updates on the status of things today and what is to come in its future. Eoghan runs Brussels Beer City, a great website you should visit, and he's the author of a book of the same name as well as the more recently published A History of Brussels Beer in 50 Objects. For more on those endeavors, I recommend listening to the podcast that Eoghan and I recorded together back in January on Beer Edge. But today, we're talking about Brussels and its beer scene and culture. It's an incredibly informative conversation and it left me excited to return to Brussels and visit some of the spots Eoghan talks about.We discuss Cantillon, Brasserie De La Senne, Le Source Brewing, and Mort Subite as well as many others during this podcast. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for one of my personal favorite suggestions for Brussels, another great place for a nightcap or to escape the crowds of the Grand Place and the tourist dens. In this episode of Beer Travelers, we discover Brussels, from its robust days of brewing to its more humble yet growing modern times, we try to capture all the city has to offer in this episode.This Episode is Sponsored by:Pub Culture BeercationsStop living vicariously through other people's social media posts and get out and make some memories of your own!

I dette afsnit smager panelet på den belgiske ale Zinne Bir. En øltype som spiller på andre tangenter end den traditionelle ale. Spørgsmålet er så om det er godt eller skidt?

For Yvan de Baets of Brasserie de la Senne, (https://www.brasseriedelasenne.be) what’s old is new again. All brewing styles shift and develop over time, as tastes change and things come into and fall out of fashion. But for this student of Belgian brewing history, the lack of hops in contemporary Belgian beers was a stylistic travesty that he needed to remedy. Enter Brasserie de la Senne, which—when it officially opened in Brussels in 2010—doubled the number of operating commercial breweries in the city (the only other one at the time was Cantillon). Over the past decade and a half, the Senne brewery has made a mark not just on drinkers but on fellow brewers the world over, with thoughtful, nuanced, unapologetic takes on Belgian beer styles. From classic extra-pale Taras Boulba to hoppy triple Jambe de Bois, they’ve followed a different path than Belgian compatriots, developing a thumbprint of assertive Noble hopping and multiple forays into mixed fermentation—all driven, de Baets says, by the selfishness of brewing only what they want to drink. In this episode, de Baets discusses how they think about and employ hops in their beers, from selection to timing. He dives deep into the impact of tank geometry on ester production, and credits their squat, wide fermenters with creating a lower-stress environment for their yeast—thus favoring subtlety and reducing higher alcohols. His approach to mixed fermentation, acidity, a new pilsner (influenced by the inimitable Eric Toft of Brauerei Schönram), and science-driven takes on traditional brewing techniques all enter the conversation. De Baets, however, is not a “purist” in any sense of the word, happy to give credit where due and celebrate those who brew with a sense of purpose to keep traditions alive. “American brewers and consumers have saved many traditional Belgian styles that were simply dying in Belgium, because the Belgians didn’t care about them any more, which is a shame and extremely sad,” he says. “Some of the Belgian-style saisons made in the US are better than most of the saisons we have in Belgium. Some Flemish reds are the same. I will not say, of course, that some lambic-like American beers are better than the best of Belgium now, but some are approaching them and extremely, extremely close.” *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): Nearly 2,000 breweries across the US, Canada & Mexico partner with G&D Chillers.

Brasserie De La Senne has made its name with beers such as Taras Boulba and Zinnebir. Complex, bitter beers underpinned by balance, subtlety and nuance. For Yvan De Baets, co-founder of the Brussels brewery, these are the beers he wants to make and enjoy. He just wishes more brewers would do the same. There are...

Schon die Geburt stellte die Weichen für den kleinen John: Benannt nach seinem Urgroßvater, der die erste Lagerbierbrauerei in den USA gegründet hatte (John Schneider) und mit einem mittlerweile vererbten perfekten Nachnamen war klar, dass auch John Brauer einst hinter Braukesseln stehen würde. Unerwarteterweise geschah das allerdings in Südafrika, wo er erst eine Versuchsbrauerei und schließlich den ganzen Laden leitete, bis ihn schließlich der Ruf ereilte, zu den Brewers of Europe zu gehen und dort vor allem für die European Brewery Convention verantwortlich zu zeichnen, die die allseits bekannten Werte rund ums Bier festlegt (z.B. EBC). Zudem ist John gern auch als BeerJudge und als Bierfestbesucher unterwegs, was viele interessante Aspekte im BierTalk mit Markus Raupach und Holger Hahn zu Tage fördert, aber hören Sie selbst...

We met up with Yvan at Deccico's markets in Armonk, NY. Yvan De Baets is a founder and brewer at the famed brewery, Brasserie De La Senne, in Brussels. He is also a social worker and beer historian. Belgium has a long rich history when it comes to brewing and is also trend setter to the entire brewing industry. Yvan is extremely passionate about the beers he and fellow brewer, Bernard Leboucq produce. Together they brew beers they love while remaining uninfluenced by trends and profit. As a result they brew beers that are wonderfully bitter, low in alcohol and superior when it comes to quality. Many consumers in the brewing industry consider Brasserie De La Senne to be "some of the best beer in the world"."The beers of Brasserie de la Senne are produced by two passionate brewers from Brussels: Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq. They work in a small brewery honouring the traditional ways of brewing beer: unfiltered, unpasteurized, free of any additives and using only the finest raw materials of the highest quality. Their dedication to un-compromised quality is definitely one of the outstanding characteristics of the brewery. The beers, with their complex flavour and well-distinguished personalities, are true beers of character, made in Brussels.""Brussels is the place where we were born and where we live. We love this city. We are very proud to have doubled its number of breweries, as, when we opened, the only other active brewery in Brussels was Cantillon. We brew in the Brussels Region, on 565 Chaussée de Gand, in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, since 22 December 2010. This date has also become the date of our anniversary brew, only brewed once a year – the Brussels Calling. We have designed our production facilities by carefully selecting the technologies in use. For some stages we have purposely opted for simpler technologies in order to preserve all the aromas of our beers. We take pride in being a local brewery; Brussels is our first market, followed by the rest of Belgium. We limit our exports, despite the success we have encountered abroad. We are, however, available in a dozen countries, with a leading presence in the United States, Italy and Japan."We hope at some point to follow up with Yvan at his brewery in Brussels for an "on the road" episode.

It's that time of the year when everyone thrusts their favourite games down your throat. We're no different except it's accompanied by several beers to ease it down. Lucy, Ben and Aadil start off with a few honourable mentions then launch into their top ten games. We've no rules here as you know, so these are games we've enjoyed this year even if they didn't release in 2018. For those all important beverages Ben and Lucy are drinking The Trilogy MMXVIII from Northern Monk and friends. These beers are brewed to showcase Malts, Yeast and Hops and are Malt - A Brut IPA with Whiplash, Yeast - A Sour IPA with Verdant and Hops - A Triple IPA with Garage. Aadil has three beers that he's tried to match alongside Ben and Lucy. He has to start 'Side Control' IPL from Marble. Follows with a sour pilsner from Cloudwater and Stillwater Artisanal called 'Tangible Object' and finishes on 'Zenne-Like' a Belgian IPA from Magic Rock and Brasserie De La Senne. After today's epic we're having next week off but will be back in the first week of the new year. Have an awesome few weeks.

It's a Ben and Lucy WillSmithisode so they have a chat about Wolfenstein 2, one of Lucy's favourite games from 2017 and the one Ben's been putting his time into. Lucy's played a really long game on Switch (probably whilst she was on the toilet) called Never Stop Sneaking, a top down stealth game. There's also a phone ringing in the background, don't worry about it, it probably wasn't related to the discussion of a spy game. More importantly, or perhaps equally as important dependent on your interests, are the beers. Lucy continues this week with Gypsy Hill and tries their 'Beatnik' Pale Ale whilst Ben begins with the 'I Rate Saison' from Brasserie De La Senne and Melissa Cole. Lucy then travels to Cardiff for a Crafty Devil 'I Am The Resurrection' and Ben's in the North East for an 'Us & Them' DIPA by Wylam.

GBH founder—and one of the co-hosts of this podcast—Michael Kiser has previously described some episodes of this podcast as being "bucket-list" interviews. Folks like Brooklyn Brewery’s Garrett Oliver and Allagash’s Rob Todd, for example: folks who’ve played huge roles in shaping the industry as we know it and still continue to do so. Now, it’s my turn. Today, I sit down for a conversation with Yvan de Baets, head brewer and co-founder of Brasserie de la Senne in Brussels, Belgium. You’re more than likely already familiar with the beers that de la Senne produces. Despite only being in existence since 2003, its beers, such as the dry and bitter Taras Boulba and the balanced, rounded Zinnebir, could easily be described as timeless and iconic. These aren’t words to be thrown around lightly, but try asking a brewer what his or her favorite beer is and more often than not, it’ll be one of them. It’s no surprise, either, as we’ll learn from de Baets later in this episode that Taras Boulba is a beer made for brewers. De Baets was in town for a string of events centered around a new specialty Belgian beer festival here in London called Ales Tales. The night before we met for this interview we had hosted an event with him at The Prince in Wood Green, North London and our conversation picks up from the points we discussed that evening. This includes the origins of de la Senne and how their first beer was brewed in a Brussels squat, to just how intrinsic the Belgian capital is to everything this brewery does. Yvan pulls no punches when discussing what he calls "fake brewers," or what most of us know as contract, or so-called "gypsy brewers." He even goes as far as to call some of them a disease within the industry. He even weighs in on the use of Belgian beer terminology, such as Lambic and Gueuze, around the world—including the recent fracas between Jester King and HORAL .

Uma cervejaria belga cheia de personalidade e fora dos padrões tradicionais! Acompanhe neste vídeo a visita à Brasserie de la Senne. Estive recentemente em Bruxelas, na Bélgica, para ser jurado do Brussels Beer Challenge 2016. Foi a minha segunda participação neste concurso, que é um das mais importantes competições cervejeiras do mundo. E como parte do roteiro do evento fizemos uma visita à Brasserie de la Senne. A Brasserie de la Senne vem se destacando não apenas na Bélgica, mas em todo o mundo, pela sua personalidade forte e que foge do padrão tradicional da escola belga, porém mantendo um excelente padrão de qualidade. Como descreve o próprio Yvan de Baets, um dos proprietários e cervejeiros da Brasserie de la Senne, suas cervejas se caracterizam por dois aspectos fundamentais: equilíbrio e drinkability. Para atingir este resultado, diversas técnicas tradicionais e inovadoras são aplicadas, além do uso de equipamentos customizados como os tanques de fermentação de desenho próprio. Duas curiosidades interessantes sobre a Brasserie de la Senne são sua política sobre lúpulos e levedura: eles não utilizam lúpulos do “novo mundo” (EUA, Japão, Austrália, Nova Zelândia etc), e utilizam apenas uma variedade de levedura Saccharomyces para todas as suas cervejas. Acompanhe neste vídeo o tour que fizemos pela cervejaria, alguns depoimentos de colegas jurados e, por fim, a degustação de um dos últimos rótulos lançados pela Brasserie de la Senne, a Bruxellensis. Aproveite para conferir o segundo vídeo desta viagem, uma visita à cervejaria Lindemans: www.mestre-cervejeiro.com/belgica-visita-lindemans Santé!
