Pajottenland

The green outskirts of Brussels are a pleasure to behold. Here, you will find extensive landscapes, parks, forests and gardens, majestic castles and other ancient heritage. The Pajottenland has acted as a source of inspiration for centuries. Brabant native Pieter Bruegel the Elder already used it as a background for his masterpieces.

And then there’s the beer. The Pajottenland and adjacent Zenne Valley are where Geuze beer originated. The alchemists at breweries such as 3 Fonteinen, Brouwerij Boon and Oud Beersel produce beers in this slightly sour, ever-sparkling style. Spontaneous fermentation makes for a unique taste sensation you won’t find anywhere else. Cheers!
