Beer. Belgians claim to have hundreds of varieties of beer. If you are a fan of beer, then Belgium is a good place to taste some rare varieties and interesting flavors. Each type of beer comes inside a uniquely shaped drinking glass, and each glass is labeled with the name or logo for the beer. There are also several beer festivals held throughout the year. Because of the Belgian love for beer, it is also an ingredient in several famous dishes, such as carbonade, which is a delicious beef stew cooked with beer.
