This is the Brussels Beer City Podcast Diaspora Season: Chapter 2 - Big Trouble in Little Kortrijk?
For almost 150 years, Italians who’ve travelled north to Brussels in search of work and better life, have been feeding the appetites and slaking the thirsts of the city’s residents.
Brussels’ Italian quarter - in the tangle of streets between the botanical gardens and North station - may have long since disappeared, but the community has made a signifcant and lasting mark on Brussels’ culinary world. And, as new arrivals from Il Bel Paese keep making their transalpine migration, what an “Italian” café in Brussels is keeps evolving.

The Brussels Beer City Podcast: Diaspora Season is about Brussels’ immigrant communities and the places they love to drink.
From ice cold Sagres with piglet sandwiches and pintjes in bruine kroegen, to creamy pints, fried plantains, and more, the podcast will explore the drinking cultures of just a small slice of Brussels’ diaspora communities.
