Today marks Belgium's King's Day holiday and Beer Sessions Radio celebrates the country and it's beer with a Coast 2 Coast Toast with Wendy Littlefield and Don Feinberg of Vanberg & DeWulf, the premier Belgian importers. They talk about bringing Belgium beer, such as the Saison, back from near extinction as well importing Duvel, lambics, and trappist beers. But first, the couple behind Brooklyn Brew Shop, Erica Shea and Stephen Valand, join in at the studio to explain how they came up with their book The Beer Making Book, which contains over 52 different varieties of DIY small batch brews anyone can make in the comfort of their home or even small apartment. Tune in later as Lew Bryson calls in to share his Belgian beer stories from back in the day. This episode is sponsored by GreatBrewers.com.
