The Country That Runs on BEER? 🍺

For Belgian’s, beer is so engrained in their culture it’s protected like the Taj Mahal.  And we are sipping our way through it.

But here we are, on a canal trip through Belgium.  And I can confidently say this country has elevated beer to an art form.  And possibly a religion. Now, before I go losing all my non beer drinkers, who are no doubt rolling their eyes, let me tell you: It’s not just beer.  At least not here.  It’s about the traditions, the people, and the passion.  These brewers aren’t just making beer, it’s a way of life and an actual UNESCO-recognized heritage. That’s right, for Belgian’s, beer is so engrained in their culture it’s protected like the Taj Mahal.  And we are sipping our way through it.  Because every barrel tells a story, and every brew is a tribute to craftsmanship passed down through generations.  So give the video a watch and by the end, we hope you’ll better understand what we’re waxing on about.  ___________________________ WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Things We're Most Curious About... GETTING OFF-GRID Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. TALKING TO STRANGERS People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving. ALTERNATIVE LIVING These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community. Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 Why Belgium on a Canal Boat? 01:46 Belgian Beer Heaven 02:44 Cruising to Gent on the Canals 04:17 Yacht Haven Marina in Gent 05:28 Boat, Body and Mind Maintenance 07:14 Wrong Marina?!? 08:38 Beer is HUGE in Belgium 10:02 Spontaneous Fermentation at Cantillon 10:48 Delirium’s Huyghe Brewery 13:37 Hops & the Brewmaster 15:30 Brewing towards Sustainability 18:01 How to Serve & Drink Belgian Beer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #BoatLife #Catamaran #Sailboat #Travel #LifeStyle © Gone With the Wynns 2024
