The 2015 European Beer Bloggers & Writers Conference – an annual gathering of beer writers, journalists and bloggers – began under an apocalyptic downpour as we were whisked from one historical brewing site to the next and speed blogged its way from the chocolate mousse laden hotel spaces of Belgium’s capital city to the bowels of brewery barrel rooms in the Payottenland.

Includes: white gloves, unblended lambic, Matt good beer hunting, tweetdecking with very little deck, Stone pouring Silly and Frank Boon’s glasses.
