Understanding Terroir in Belgian Beer

The podcast discusses the significance of terroir in the production of wild and spontaneously fermented beers in Belgium. Each producer emphasizes the importance of local ingredients, particularly fruits, which reflect their regions. For instance, Raph Suvrance incorporates local cherries and grapes due to the fertile fruit farms surrounding his home in Hasselt. This connection to local agriculture not only enhances the flavor profile of their beers but also underscores a commitment to sustainability and community involvement in the brewing process.
