I wish I had the foresight to have read this book prior to our trip to Belgium in 2014. The next time we go, I will be certain to pack it along.

Belgium has a unique beer history, and the variety is overwhelming. This little book is like a friendly (and knowledgeable) acquaintance who steers you to the best choices available. Nicely done.

Much more user friendly than any of the Michael Jackson beer books. A must read if you are planning a beer themed tour of Belgium. The ratings were a little subjective, but the descriptions are spot on.

This is probably one of the best travel guides I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. Thanks to my colleague Mike for pointing me toward Tim Webb and this book. If you want to learn about beer, enjoy travel or just want to know more about Belgium (a wonderful country), this book is for you.

The best of the books on Belgian beer. Very useful if you live as an expat in Belgium and go on excursions to new places in the country. I always take this with me to see what's in the neighbourhood and worth calling in to. It hasn't disappointed.

Hands down the absolute best beer guide I've ever read. It was a bible to us on our trip to Belgium.

kind of like a Lonely Planet for beer lovers. All the beers I love have high ratings so there's a winner for me.
