As now happens with regularity, today I updated you on the brewing news from the world. As usual we’re plenty of news. This time let’s start from Belgium. On Belgian Beer Board has recently appeared a scoop on the latest Smisje release. It’s called Smiske and will be officially introduced in early May during the party organized to celebrate the first anniversary of the move of the production plant near Oudenaarde. No additional information on this issue for the moment, so we must be content with the photo of the bottle only.
