A Nation of Beer (Episode 3): Belgium

Belgium is often viewed, from an outsider’s perspective, as the land of beer and chocolate; in this video, we’re far more interested in the former. It is almost certain that Belgium’s relationship to beer goes back several thousand years, making their bond for this lightly alcoholic beverage oh, so profound. In this third episode of our Nation of Beer Series, we learn the historic and contemporary association Belgium has with beer and how the relationship has survived the test of time.
A Nation of Beer Series, brought to you by Rolling Hops Beer Tours (rollinghopsbeertours.com), explores the history of some of the world’s most beer loving nations. Be sure to like and subscribe in order to stay up to date on our latest episodes.
Be sure to watch our next episode, where we showcase one of Europe’s beer titans: the Czech Republic. Coming soon…

The background music is so loud

I find it funny how at 1:10 when you're talking about how 'new' Belgium is in relation to other European countries, you show us Germany on a map, which was founded in 1871, 41 years after Belgium 😅

[@startledmilk6670]

Modern day Germany was technically only founded in the 1990’s*

Another overlooked detail, Gruit or Gruut beers have been rediscovered and are sold again. E.G.: there is a brewery in Gent city who's brewer worked with the local university to figure out how to make beer without hops but with Gruut. Personally I really like their dark version, which you really can't tell it's without hop but still has a rich and complex flavor. There are other breweries in Belgium who also produce hop-less beers as well as these days in all kinds of other countries

The retention of the beer’s head is made by little scratches at the bottom of the tulip glass.

Terrific information, but the bloody annoying piano is mixed too high on the soundtrack.

[@maximmikheli3033]

While quite a few errors and loud music, still a nice informative video!

I'm 2 minutes into the video and the music is so load and annoying I don't know if I can last the next 5 minutes.

[@kennethwalsh8804]

I too found the background music really annoying. I want to hear the commentary when watching a documentary.

[@aritrodasgupta2019]

Terribly loud background music

[@GeertDelmulle]

Your music is WAY too loud.

More factual errors. Lambic and Geuze style beers are much much older than the 19th century as they are remnants of the practice of spontaneous fermentation. Do you actually know anything about historical research or beer, because all these videos contain a lot of errors.
