TOURNÉE GÉNÉRALE VISITS BROUWERIJ DILEWYNS
Jean and Ray pay a visit to Vincent Dilewyns and his brewery in Dendermonde. They also have a lively conversation with 2 of Vincent’s 4 daughters, Claire Dilewyns and Anne-Cathérine Dilewyns about the vision of the brewery and their latest product at the time, Quinto 5 by Vicaris. (Original video credit: een.be) We only added the picture at the beginning!
TOURNÉE GÉNÉRALE VISITS SINT-SIXTUSABDIJ
Originally filmed in 2009, one of the very first episodes of the Tournée Générale series finds Jean and Ray at the famous Trappist monastery of Sint Sixtus in Westvleteren. Normally, the monastery does not allow outside visitors in the brewery, but Jean and Ray were able to get the extreme privilege to go inside!
VISIT GEUZESTEKERIJ DE CAM
Filmed and produced by Geuze lover Raymond De Saegher, this video provides a great overview and insider’s look into Karel Goddeau’s authentic Geuze blendery. Convivial and musical, the feel of this video truly makes you want to be there! BTW- We put our own touch at the very beginning and end of this video!
INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL PAUWELS & MARCO PASSARELLA
This was a interview done live at the St. Bernardus brewery! The audio / video goes into the personal backgrounds of these two men, (and how they got connected with the brewery,) and also goes into discussion about the past, present and future of St. Bernardus. Marco also offers his “wisdom” at the end of the video- it’s a must watch!
INTERVIEW WITH DARREN CARTLEDGE OF THE LOCAL BEER BAR
During our recent trip to Humboldt County, California, we decided to visit Eureka’s most diverse beer bar. Owner Darren Cartledge graciously gave us his time to talk about his motivation to start his business. Lots of cool pics as well…
