Belgium, Brussels and beer. It’s a cliché as old as humankind but like most cliches, there’s definitely something to the story. Living in Brussels, I still wonder how the night shops manage to build their shop window out of – almost exclusively – beer…

Cheers to Prostly’s thirteenth issue where we delve into the world of beer and travel. The overarching theme this month is the force that is craft beer and its influence around the world. We’re highlighting pioneering microbreweries from South Africa, Vietnam…
