BBM! NEWS: New Tour for 2012!
New! Alvinne Craft Beer Festival Tour of Belgium--Feb. 28-Mar. 6, 2012 • Eight Days, Seven Nights. Deadline to sign up is Jan. 31. This special edition beer tour of Belgium is unique for two reasons: It features prominently the legendary Alvinne Craft Beer Festival and incorporates touring with one of the world’s foremost authorities on Belgian Beer, Great Britain’s Chris Pollard, better known in beer circles as “Podge”(Pictured right). He is the co author of LambicLand and Around Bruges in 80 Beers. In addition to being an authority on beer and a veteran beer tour leader, Podge’s personality and character is just a joy in which to be around. We are indeed fortunate to be able to experience this great festival and spend time with our friend Podge and his British beer hunters. When the British and American beer enthusiasts come together, the meeting of the cultures is fun, interesting and fascinating for both groups. Add this to being in the beer paradise of Belgium, and the combination is a guaranteed good time! More information...
