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.

'10New international beers
As happens from time to time we take a look at the new beers that will soon invade (or have recently invaded) the international market. Let’s start with one of the latest news, which comes directly from the blog Thirsty Pilgrim. It seems that the Belgian Dupont will introduce, in the next April, a special dry-hopped version of its renowned Saison. In broad outline dry-hopping technique is to add fresh hops directly during fermentation. Will be produced once a year and the availability will be quite limited: they will produce only about 250 kegs and 300 to 500 magnum size bottles. Sounds like an interesting variation on the theme for all those who love this beer. But it will takes a lot of luck to have the chance to sample it.
