Blond beer
The most spreaded beer, recognizable thanks to its gilded color, color of the moonlight or color of freshly cut stubbles.
The range extends from bitter beers with a low alcohol content to sweeter beers with a much more important alcohol content.
Spontaneous fermentation
The fermentation is called "spontaneous" because the brewer doesn't add any yeast. Beer is stored in the open air and yeasts from the environment naturally ferment the beer. These yeasts only live in the Senne valley and Payottenland, consequently these country beers are brewed only in the area around Brussels.
Beers brewed this way, that can be identified thanks to their acid taste, are called "lambic".

Pasteurized
Invented by Louis Pasteur in 1856, pasteurization consists in heating the beer to a high temperature (158°F approximately). Often beer is pasteurized after being bottled, in such a case bottles are heated to pasteurization temperature during several minutes.
By destroying yeasts and micro-organisms in the beer, this process ensures the stability and conservation of the beer.
"Light" foam
Beer with a light foam. These beers should be served in a glass quite tall in order to obtain a beautiful collar, and with a head thiner than the body to help the foam to form.
Tip: serve a first part of the beer and begin to enjoy. Then serve the rest of the beer to obtain some foam again.
As the foam is light, thirsty people can drink this beer from the bottle :-)
Cider
Ciders are made from apple juice and crushed apples fermented together.
