Ep.7 - Nacim Menu // Rubis

My guest on today’s episode is Nacim Menu, co-founder of Brussels brewery Nanobrasserie L’Ermitage.

Nacim takes my to his favourite wine bar in St Gilles, where we talk escaping the Wallonian countryside for Brussels, being a young dad in Brussels, his journey from win to beer via his first Cantillon lambic, how a transformative visit to Canada changed his life and set him on the path to opening a brewery - and Brussels as a proper party town.

As you will have guessed, the podcast has moved from a weekly to a bi-weekly schedule, so it should be dropping in your podcast stream every two weeks from now on.

And with that, on with the show!

The podcast that celebrates what makes Brussels a great place to live: its bars, its beers, and most importantly: its people.

Each week, a fascinating Brussels resident invites me, Eoghan Walsh, to their favourite Brussels bar. Where, over a drink or two, we talk about the importance of the bar to them, and their relationship to Brussels - what they love, what they hate, and why they couldn’t live anywhere else.

My guests on the Brussels Beer City Podcast are people not only from the world of food and drink, but also activists, writers, comedians, politicians entrepreneurs - anglophone, francophone, Dutch-speaking and more besides - a true reflection of what makes Brussels such a vibrant and exciting place to live in 2020. Which need celebrating now more than ever.
