What makes craft beer so special than the regular ones? Well, let me say, craft beers are assiduously perfected by “Gods” or the “Brewmasters” The ingredients used in this craft beer are of the highest quality and most particularly, the beer is at its purest. Most craft beer is brewed using the following ingredients: water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. But of course, it still depends on the type of beer, wheat, rye or fruits can be used as well.
Substantially, craft beer is just more developed, creative and perfected. So there’s no doubt that the brewmaster can perfect their awesome beer recipes!

One of the highlights in Belgian Fest is the fascinating beer culture of Belgium by exhibiting more than 80 Belgian-style beers crafted by Washington breweries. This is an excellent opportunity to taste them all. But of course you don’t want to get drunk in this event, right? Dubbels, Tripels, Abbeys, Wits, Tangy Saisons and Lambics are some of the featured beer styles that were brewed with Belgian yeast and I’m sure you don’t want to miss them out.
Here are some best Belgian beers that are notable to many and will be poured in the Belgian Fest.
1. Dubbels – Also known as “double”. A Belgian Trappist rich and malty beer. It is also likely to show a hint of a sweet caramel flavor from the use of crystal malt or dark candy sugar. Sounds sweet right? Dubbel’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 6% - 7.6%
2. Tripels – These are one of the interesting beer styles. The name comes from the Low Countries and also it refers to the amount of malt used to make the beer. Tripel’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 7.5% – 9.5%
3. Abbeys – originally this kind of beer is applied to any monastic-style beer. It may be produced by a non-Trappist monastery or branded with the name of a non-existent abbey by a commercial brewer. Abbey’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 7% – 8%
4. Wits – Wit means “white” This is a Belgian style witbier brewed using either unmalted wheat, oats, and malted barley. It is spiced with coriander and orange peel. They are often referred to as “white beers”. This one tastes orangey and quite healthy! Wit’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 4% – 7%.
5. Saisons – Came from the French word “season”. These kinds of beer are pale ale, and were primitively brewed in the early spring, for summer devouring. Traditionally, Saison was brewed with low alcohol levels, but the modern production has it styled to high levels of alcohol. Saison’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 5% - 8.5%.
6. Lambics – these types of beers are distinct. It’s the weirdest and oldest beer style in the world. It’s been brewed in and around the ordinary corner of Brussels for more than 500 years and can’t be produced anywhere else. These kind of beers are not for everyone. Skilled artisans are capable to blend these different lambics from different locations and production years to create exclusive gueuzes. Sounds old and interesting right? Lambic’s ABV (Alcohol by Volume) range is 5% - 6.5%.
