EP048 | Tingles in the Jungle
In 2020, three young Belgians started a brewery with an ambition to cohesively merge their widely diverging beer tastes—pastoral Belgian ales, traditional English styles, and mixed fermentation beers packed with fruit.
They’d have to do it against a challenging backdrop: disinterest from Brussels drinkers in unfamiliar styles, rolling pandemic lock-downs, the fracturing of their original triumvirate, a global energy crisis, and an increasingly cut-throat beer market.
In Belgian beer, it’s survival of the fittest: you live by the law of the jungle.
In this episode, Breandán Kearney sits down with Félix Damien and Christophe Bravin of Brasserie La Jungle.
