beBeer's take
Eoghan Walsh is the outside eye that sees brewing Belgium better than many insiders. His dual Irish-Belgian culture allows him to explain what makes Belgian beer unique to an international audience, while remaining rooted in the reality of the Brussels scene. For beBeer, he is an essential reference.
