About the beer
The Betty Fords beer, crafted by Brouwerij Wilderen in Belgium, is a distinct and approachable brew.
It is characterized by its clear amber color and a palate-friendly taste. This delightful drinkability stems from a specific combination of hop varieties and a carefully balanced selection of malts. The beer presents an intense, brown-red hue, thanks to the use of a specially selected dark malt.

Additionally, the beer is known for its pure, mild, and rounded flavor profile, which is complemented by a modestly dry bitterness in the aftertaste, making it very accessible to a range of beer enthusiasts. With an alcohol content of 5.2%, it's a moderately strong choice that balances flavor and drinkability effectively

See what they write about the beer.
The intense, brown-red colour is derived from a specially selected dark malt. The pure, mild and rounded flavour, combined with a modestly dry bitterness in the aftertaste, ensures that this is a very approachable beer.

About Betty Ford
Betty Ford, born Elizabeth Anne Bloomer on April 8, 1918, in Chicago, Illinois, was a significant figure in American history. She served as the First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977 during her husband, Gerald Ford's presidency. Before her time as First Lady, she was the Second Lady of the United States when her husband was vice president from 1973 to 1974.
Betty Ford was known for her outspokenness and activism, particularly in areas related to women's rights and health. She was a strong supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion rights, and played a vital role in the women's rights movement. Her candid discussions on sensitive topics like breast cancer and addiction were groundbreaking at the time. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1974, she openly discussed her mastectomy, raising awareness about breast cancer.

Her personal struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse led her to establish the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, in 1982. The center was dedicated to treating drug dependence and alcoholism, and Ford served as its first chairwoman. This initiative was pivotal in changing the conversation around addiction and treatment in the United States.

Betty Ford's contributions extended beyond her advocacy for health and women's rights. She was highly influential as a First Lady, setting a precedent for political activism in the role. She was highly regarded for her courage and honesty, gaining respect and admiration from many. Ford passed away on July 8, 2011, but her legacy continues to impact many, especially in the areas of healthcare and women's rights

Möglicherweise hätte ihr Portrait auf der alkoholfreien Variante ein passenderes Bild ergeben? 🤔
Andererseits passen ein dunkelfarbiges Bier und der Kampf für Menschenrechte dann doch wieder bestens zusammen. 😉
The variety of Belgium beers out there is just staggering. When we visited Europe in 2012, I was dumbfounded when I stood in front of all the beers in the supermarket. It was something of a dream come true. All the labels, the different beers. I think we bought almost 20 beers just in that one go! It was amazing.
This beer looks amazing as well! And it is such a nice gesture to place Ford on the label.
Thank you for sharing this awesome beer! Wish I could taste.
I don't think I can finish my job to taste all Belgium beers in this lifetime.
That is a good life goal. I would love to try this, but Belgian beer in my country is so expensive. My uncle lives there and brings some of the more uncommon ones for me to taste every year or so. I really enjoy them!
Thanks and yes, there sooo many different once
What a model you got for this shoot :))
