This week on Beer Sessions Radio (TM) there's a battle going on between Belgian beers made in the homeland and American-style Belgians. Tune in as guests B.R. Rolya from Shelton Brothers as well as Greg Curley and Chris Genua from Double Windsor debate what are some of the best brews coming from both ares. Later on Scotland's own Bruce Williams of Williams Brother's Brewery talks all about Scottish beer and why he wants a cask-beer accreditation system in place in the US for bars.

"People aren't drinking cask beer properly. [I would love] to get some certification program in the USA to make sure people who know what they're doing with [casks] so they're not abusing it."

--Bruce Williams on Beer Sessions Radio

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.
