On Saturday March 29, Fnac Woluwé is delighted to welcome François Bachelot & Vincent Burgeon, authors of the comic strip Biérologix, for a signing session. A very Belgian subject to discover in store.
From Belgian Trappist beers to Irish stouts, Czech pilsners, German lagers and even American IPAs, Biérologix is a humorous tale of learning that takes readers to the four corners of the beer planet, to reveal all about the great classics and new trends of mankind’s oldest beverage. A comic book to be served without a collar, and enjoyed… without moderation!
Motivated by the global beer boom, Bakanale, a Parisian communications agency, has just acquired VolleGas, a small Belgian creative studio specializing in the world of brewing… But Charlotte and Lucien, sent to Brussels to oversee the merger, don’t know much about beerology! No problem: their new colleagues Diane, Ronnie and Olga are going to introduce them to the mysteries of fine foam, through meetings with producers, trade shows and festivals of all kinds. Brewing, tasting, styles, service, food pairings… What ingredients can be used to make beer? Why is water so important? What role do hops play? Should the glass be tilted when serving beer? How do you judge bitterness? How do you pair beer with food? What’s the secret behind lambic brewing? What major role have women played in the history of beer? What is the Reinheitsgebot? Ninkasi? The “season”? CAMRA? Chinook?… The questions come thick and fast, and Lucien writes them all down in his sketchbook.
