Belgium without beer: a world I don’t want to imagine

Collaborations like the one between Belgian brewer Jean-Marie Rock and Boulevard’s Steven Pauwels may prove more important in light of recent news from Belgium about a possible looming beer shortage amid protests over job cuts and declining beer sales.

The past two weeks have seen angry picketers stacking crates and blocking incoming ingredients and outgoing crates at the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev in Leuven, Belgium. Reuters reports that the brewery blockades are expected to end today.
