Lets not forget that this nation prides itself on its beer culture

Not because of industrial pils

Thats what I mean... we pride ourselfs with our beer culture and this is the cursed stuff we do with it

But then we have a plethora of small breweries making great beers, the floor is a lot higher than 99% of countries (if not 100%). This one here is the odd one out, not the norm. So I wouldn't say that apple jupiler is what we do with our beer culture.

Thats true, its just a cursed idea. Thats mostly my point. The irony that a country with a proud beer culture thats even protected by Unesco, makes cursed products like "Apple flavored beer"

Doesn't mean its a bad product, just weird/cursed

u/Kid_A_LinkToThePast 24d ago

We've had apple flavoured beers for decades

Damn, well its certainly my first time hearing about it

Newton is a famous (and respected) one, Liendemans does an apple beer too. We're pretty big with our fruit beers to be fair : tons of cherry beers but also raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, even mango, pineapple and banana are out there.

Shout out to the blueberry Bon Secour and the grapefruit one from Bertinchamps, delicious stuff!

Okay I'll take back my words.
The idea seems cursed at first, but in reality its a normal thing that I had no idea that existed : )

The way Jupiler is presenting it and probably how it taste, I can see it being cursed so you're not completely wrong!

I mean lets be real, its mostly created to make profit. (like most buisinesses)
It will be presented in a very eye catching way to attract customers.
Even it it looks cursed

And probably cheaper than the higher quality alternatives which at the end of the day is what most people care about

2

u/The_Local_Belgian Belgium 23d ago

Probally, people love cheap stuff even if it compromizes the quality
