On The 2011 Great Belgian

Beer Tours

1. TOUR AND TASTING AT LA CHOUFFE! In honor of Chris Blauweraerts visit to O’Brien’s Pub in NEW YORK (and because we love Houblon Chouffe) the GBBT luxury coach will make its way east to the Ardennes forest to enjoy one of our favorite Belgium breweries.

2. VISIT AND TASTING AT ORVAL TRAPPIST BREWERY In 2011 GBBT WILL VISIT THREE (or more)TRAPPIST BREWERIES! Chris has graciously offered to have his brewer arrange a visit to Orval and to have us taste their Belgian Trappist ale on Tap! This is a very rare opportunity and we are looking forward to visiting a third Trappist brewery on the 2011 GBBT! A beer brewed with knowledge is tasted with wisdom

3. BATTLE OF THE BULGE MUSEUM As we’re in the middle of the Ardennes forest we’ll take a small break from our frivolity to visit this incredible and important museum to learn more of the historic World War II battle and to pay tribute to the men and women who gave their all for our freedom.

4. BEER, CASTLES & WHISKEY IN SCOTLAND

There is so much to experience in Scotland, one hardly knows where to begin! The 2011 GBBT will visit three craft breweries, three castles, three whiskey distilleries and enjoy a tutored Whiskey tasting in Ediburgh! See following pages for details

Craft Breweries: Brewdog, Harviestoun, Traquair Castles: Edinburgh Castle, Blair Atholl Castle, Traquair House Whisky Distilleries: The Macallan, Blair Athol, Auchentoshan

Beer Tours

5. ALVINNE CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL (formerly Pre-Zythos)

In 2011, Picobrewery Alvinne will organize their 4th Beer Festival, one that is quite different from all other beer festivals held in Belgium. Because it takes place the day before Zythos Beer Festival, they used to call it the Pré-ZBF Festival.

6. THE NEW HET ANKER (GOUDEN CARLOUS) BREWERY & TAP ROOM We’ll tour the new brewery then enjoy a tasting and dinner in their newly completed (we hope)! Brewery Tap.

7. And if all the new tour experiences aren’t enough, it

just so happens that THE LONDON BEER DRINKER FESTIVAL & ULTIMATE LONDON PUB CRAWL with London Micro-Brewery visits & tastings follows the GBBT Scotland itinerary!

SCOTTISH WHISKY DISTILLERIES & TUTORED TASTING No trip to Scotland would be complete without dipping our tongues into the water of life! So we’ll visit three different style Scottish Whisky Distilleries: The Macallan in the highlands, Blair Athol at the gateway to the highlands and Auchentoshan on the west coast, just above Glasgow. Then (just to make sure we understand Whisky fully) we’ll enjoy a tutored tasting in Edinburgh. The Macallan Auchentoshan Blair Athol

Beer Tours SCOTTISH CRAFT BEER BREWERIES

Ken Brooker established Harviestoun Brewery in 1985 in a 200 year old stone byre near Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The Brewery uses untreated natural spring water from the local Ochill hills. The original plant was put together from a number of sources, but in 1991 a new custom-built plant with a 10 barrel brew length was installed.

The Traquair House brewery was originally an 18th century domestic brewery producing beer for the house and estate workers. It was disused some time after 1800 but the vessels and equipment remained untouched until it was rediscovered in 1965. The brewery currently produces around 600 - 700 barrels per annum. (200,000 bottles and the remainder draught) Brewing takes place all year round with the exception of August. The brewery expanded its premises in 1993 but continues to ferment its total production in the original oak vessels.

Beer was never meant to be bland, tasteless and apathetic. At BrewDog we are setting the record straight. We are committed to making the highest quality beers with the finest fresh natural ingredients. Our beers are in no way commercial or mainstream. We do not merely aspire to the proclaimed heady heights of conformity through neutrality and blandness. We are unique and individual. A beacon of non-conformity in a increasingly monotone corporate desert.

We are proud to be an intrepid David in a desperate ocean of insipid Goliaths. We are proud to be an alternative.

Welcome to Blair Castle, the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl. The castle enjoys one of Scotland’s finest settings in the heart of Highland Perthshire

With its roots in the 13th century, Blair Castle’s history extends over some 740 years, during which time it has welcomed countless generations of visitors. At the gateway to the Grampian Mountains on the route north to Inverness, the location was highly strategic. Today we can enjoy the wild beauty of the surrounding landscape, but centuries ago it was a threatening and dangerous place.

Famous as the last castle to be held under siege in 1746, Blair's magnificent white walls have welcomed some of history's most illustrious figures including Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Queen Victoria. The castle is also home to the Atholl Highlanders, Europe's last remaining private army. The beautiful gardens and grounds include a magnificent 9 acre walled garden with landscaped ponds and follies and a peaceful wooded grove, home to the UK's 2nd tallest tree.

Did we mention shopping for Scottish cashmere, taking a Land Rover Estate Safari? (Sorry Jeremy, fishing season starts later! Possibly some grouse hunting?)

Welcome to Traquair House. Dating b ack to 1107, Traquair was originally a hunting lodge for the kings and queens of Scotland. Later a refuge for Catholic priests in times of terror the Stuarts of Traquair supported Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobite cause without counting the cost.

Visitors are invited to enjoy the house, extensive grounds, maze, craft workshops, 1745 Cottage Restaurant and the famous Traquair House Brewery housed in the eighteenth century wing and producing the world famous Traquair House Ales.

And of course Edinburgh Castle!

Alvinne Craft Beer Festival A yearly discovery of some of the world’s

most innovative microbreweries Friday March 04, 2011 - 12pm to 11pm

In 2011, Picobrewery Alvinne will organize their 4th Beer Festival, one that is quite different from all other beer festivals held in Belgium. Because it takes place the day before Zythos Beer Festival, they used to call it the Pré-ZBF Festival.

After the success of the 2010 festival, many attendees thought the festival was more than just an appetizer for ZBF and should have its own name. With some help of our friends, the name Alvinne Craft Beer Festival” and motto A yearly discovery of some of the world’s most innovative microbreweries were created. The Festival will be held in a larger farmhouse castle: De Kasteelhoeve in Avelgem, Belgium. There will be sixteen or so Breweries from Belgium, England, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and Switzerland.

Breweries attending: Picobrouwerij Alvinne (Belgium) Struise Brouwers (Belgium) De Molen (Netherlands) Thornbridge (England) Braustelle (Germany) Freigeist BierKultur (Germany) Beck Brauerei (Germany) Mikkeller (Denmark) Grassrooth Brewing Co (USA/Denmark) Revelation Cat (Italy) Brasserie Franche Montagne (Switzerland) Birrificio del Ducato (Italy) Stillwater Artisanal Ales – “Gypsy Brewer” (USA) Brian Strumke, the first person ever to be included in Food & Wine Magazines Top Sommelier list for beer for his pairing of beer and food Finally people are coming around to beer/food pairing! Norrebro Bryghus (Denmark) Croocked Moon Brewing (Denmark) Bierbrouerij Emelisse (Netherlands) Breweries subject to change
