PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 461
Belgium's Beer Capital For today's Geo Quiz, we're talking beer. A labor dispute in the Flemish region of Belgium is affecting the world's largest brewery. Union workers in the city we're looking for... are upset by a plan by "Anheuser-Busch - InBev" to cut jobs. The international mega-brewer makes Bud and Bud Light. In Belgium, it produces the popular Stella Artois brand. But a blockade of the company's headquarters in Belgium is disrupting supplies. Question is -- where's this blockade happening? Here's a hint: One of the city's landmarks is a statue called the Fountain of Wisdom. It's of a student reading a book while pouring LIQUID into his head. Maybe it's beer. We'll hear more about this Belgian beer capital --- when we reveal the answer.
