Drink Beer, Think Beer With John Holl

As one of the most famous beer cities in the world Brussels is well trodden ground, but a new book seeks to explore the Belgian capital through objects that have helped define its drinking culture. Eoghan Walsh, the author of “A History of Brussels Beer in 50 Objects” is my guest this week.

Show Notes

"It can be hard to come up with new ideas for beer books, so sometimes taking inspiration from another concept – like lists – just makes sense. This is not a bad thing and in the case of Eoghan Walsh’s new book A History of Brussels Beer in 50 Objects it is a very good thing. 
 

This is especially true since he does not talk about beers specifically (with a few exceptions) since that concept has been done over and over again. There are tangible objects that have helped shape drinking in Brussels over the century and by carefully curating a tight list Walsh is able to weave together a longer story. 
 

This is no surprise as Walsh, who is an award-winning writer, and the editor of Brussels Beer City has worked over the years to tell stories beyond beer."
