There are many world class French biers for the simple reason that most of the French breweries have been situated cheek by jowl with the Belgian breweries in North-East France for centuries. During the wars between Germany and France of the 17/18th C, many Belgian brewers fled to France, settled and imported their skills.
The French have a long tradition of importing ideas and people from surrounding nations and making them their own, and Opera falls into that category. |
