About this media
Belgian Smaak is an award-winning website, podcast, and newsletter dedicated entirely to Belgian beer and Belgian beer culture. Founded in February 2014 by Breandán Kearney, an Irish journalist who moved to Belgium and fell in love with the country through its beer, the project has grown into one of the most respected English-language resources on the subject.
Backed by a professional editorial team of writers, photographers, illustrators, and sound engineers, Belgian Smaak produces narrative long-form journalism, a regular podcast, photographic portrait series, and café profiles — all free to access. Kearney is a Certified Cicerone®, IBD-accredited beer sommelier, and BJCP judge.
