This marks Vanberg & DeWulf's 28th year importing specialty beers from Belgium and Northern France. As always, all the beers we represent come from independent, family-run breweries committed to traditional methods of production. In the face of consolidation and mass marketing, the very survival of these breweries as independent enterprises has depended in no small part on their ability to develop a following in export markets. Thank you. For you have helped to perpetuate a spectacular brewing culture.

For centuries, this region has been the richest repository of gastronomic beers in the world. When we began importing in 1982, Belgian beers were virtually unknown in the United States, and American micro-brewing was in its infancy. Today the U.S. is indisputably the most vibrant, raucous exciting brewing culture in the world. Among American cognoscenti, Belgian beers are rightly revered and widely imitated. If you would like to know why, or if you would like to help contribute to their continued vitality, you have come to the right place.
