	Ayinger Aying, Germany Through its diversity of beer specialties, Ayinger lives out its traditional brewing art with true passion.

	Orval Gaume, Belgium The Orval Brewery is a traditional Belgium Trappist brewery located within the walls of the Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Orval monastery in the Gaume region of Belgium. As with all other Trappist breweries, the money they generate by the brewery is devoted both to various forms of social and charitable aids, and to the upkeep of the site. Their Trappist Ale was first made in 1931, and has a complex and unusual flavor and aroma produced by unique strains of yeast. Their beer is known for having Sunset-orange color; a fruity and slightly acidic bouquet, firm body, profound hop bitterness, and long, dry finish.
	Westmalle Westmalle, Belgium Westmalle is a traditional Trappist brewery whose purpose is not to make a profit. Income takes care of the livelihood of the monks, upkeep of the abbey site and charity. The Tripel, and Dubbel of Westmalle are living quality beers whose flavours develop over time. The flavour mainly depends on the age, the storage method, the serving method and the serving temperature. Thus no two glasses are completely the same. Both the Dubbel and the Tripel are considered by many tasters as the benchmarks for the style.

The flexible nature of the brewery enables Naudts to create an impressive range of traditional and not so traditional ales.

	PALM Breweries Steenhuffel, Belgium PALM Ale has long been one of Europe's top-selling specialty beers and when you taste it, you will know why. Made with English hops, French Barley, and Belgian yeast, PALM represents the best of European beer-making traditions. It's the roasted Champagne Malt which gives PALM its amber color, but without being heavy. PALM is a great alternative to traditional pilsners and lagers for the beer drinker looking for something a little different. Noted beer writer Michael Jackson described PALM Speciale as "exceptionally fresh, with aromas of toasty malt, a bitter-orange palate and a tartly refreshing finish."
