Thanks everybody, this really si a great beer site, ain't it To answer the question, My father worked as a Brouwerij van Alken rep for years (the brewery had a merger in the 80s to become Alken-Maes, were bought by Scottish and Newcastle in 2000 and transferred to Carlsberg/Heineken in 2007) so I've always been around Belgian beer, and my parents, being Belgian, didn;t think much of American drinking restrictions so my siblings and I have been enjoying beer, mainly Belgian beer, since our early teens. In 2006, I became a sales rep for Alken-Maes (although techincally Alken-Maes no longer exists, we are now 'Heineken') and today I travel the world selling Heineken products. I've tried over 3,000 different Belgian beers, many of which aren't listed on websites, BeerPal, or RateBeer. I'm slowly going to add ones I know were commercially available away from the breweries in question. I submitted a request months ago to have the Alken-Maes ownership information updated as they haven't been independent in over a decade, but it still shows as being independent. That would include Mort Subite (previously owned by Alken-Maes now owned by Heineken), and Louwage (previously owned by Alken-Maes and now owned by Heineken).
