Beer Birthday: Luc De Raedemaeker

October 12, 2025 By Jay Brooks Leave a Comment

Today is the 54th birthday of Luc De Raedemaeker, who’s the Tasting Director for the Brussels Beer Challenge, the Dutch Beer Challenge and also the owner of BIERinhuis. I first met Luc in D.C. when Stephen Beaumont introduced us during CBC, and then we judged together in Japan several years ago, and I’ve also been privileged to judge at the BBC for over ten years. We generally run into one another several times a year, both in the states and in Belgium, and he’s always fun to share a beer or three with. One summer, a few years ago, his family stayed with us for a week while they were on vacation in the states, and had a grand time. Join me in wishing Luc a very happy birthday.
