February 27, 2003 -- Stephen Beaumont and BelgianShop.com Team Up to Bring Belgium to the World

International beer authority Stephen Beaumont and Internet beer retailer BelgianShop.com are pleased to announce this month the creation of 'Stephen Beaumont's Belgian Beer Pack.'

Designed specifically to complement the season, each edition of 'Stephen Beaumont's Belgian Beer Pack' features six great Belgian beers, specially selected by Stephen Beaumont, author of 'The Premium Beer Drinker's Guide' and four other books on beer. Also included are exclusive tasting notes and serving suggestions specially prepared by Beaumont, custom glassware for one or more of the beers, and always one or two 'extras.'

"It's no secret that I'm passionate about Belgium and its beers," says Beaumont, "So when BelgianShop.com, the Internet's leading retailer of Belgian beers, approached me with the idea for 'Stephen Beaumont's Belgian Beer Pack,' I leapt at the opportunity. For me, this is a chance to share with the world the uniqueness of Belgian beers, their incredible flavours, aromas, characters and food-friendliness."

Priced competitively, each 'Stephen Beaumont's Belgian Beer Pack' is available in shipments of either twelve or twenty-four bottles. The Winter Pack, currently for sale at BelgianShop.com, features:

• Rader Blonde, a golden ale flavoured with genever, the Belgian precursor to gin;

• Hapkin, an elegant, dry and remarkably appetizing strong golden ale;

• Montagnarde, a rich strong ale from the impressive Brasserie de l'Abbaye des Rocs;

• Floreffe Dubbel, one of Belgium's great food-friendly ales;

• Rochefort 8, perhaps the world's finest beer for serving alongside chocolate;

• Bush, the outstandingly complex and 12% alcohol ale better known in some districts as Scaldis.

"These are ales well-suited to the colder months of the year," says Beaumont. And with Easter in mind, I even included the Rochefort 8 for pairing with a chocolate bunny."

'Stephen Beaumont's Belgian Beer Pack' is available at BelgianShop.com. A Spring Edition of the pack will be available in May.
