0-euro notes : 1 a. Belgium : beers

First thing that pops in someones mind if you mention Belgium, will probably be beer and (french) fries. And yes, they are Belgian and not French!

Anyhow, Belgian beers are known, appreciated and drunk world wide.
Reasons enough to dedicate a 0-euro note to this world cultural heritage.

In the central image, we see a wooden barrel with some beers.
