EP053 | Mule Head: An Interview with Joël Galy of Brasserie de la Mule

Photos by Cliff Lucas This editorially independent podcast has been supported by VISITFLANDERS as part of the “New Arrivals” series of podcasts.  Galy is the quietly punkish, Swedish-born but Belgian-raised brewer of Brasserie de la Mule.Brasserie de la Mule is a brewery and taproom-slash-music venue that’s housed in an abandoned tram shed in Brussels’ Schaerbeek neighbourhood. De la Mule specialises in German styles of beer. I sat down with Joël in his taproom for a chat about how he approaches German styles in Belgium, what he’s learned from parenting to make him a better leader in the brewery, how he landed jobs as a brewer at Brasserie de la Senne and Brasserie Cantillon before starting his own business, and why everyone’s got it wrong about Belgian Saison.   Sit back, listen, and enjoy our interview with Joël Galy of Brasserie de la Mule. *
