Answer 1

Well from French it would be "Beer of the Meuse". Now the Meuse is a river, possibly there is a connection?

Answer 2

Beer of the Meuse

The Meuse {möz} River, known as the Maas in Dutch and Flemish, is approximately 560 mi. (900 km) long, rising in the Langres Plateau of northeastern France and flowing north past Sedan (the head of navigation) and Charleville-Mézières into southern Belgium. It is joined by the Sambre River at Namur. From Namur the Meuse winds eastward skirting the Ardennes, passes Liège, and turns north, where it forms part of the Belgian-Dutch border before swinging westward through southeastern Netherlands (where it is called the Maas). Near Hertogenbosch it branches out to form a common delta with the Rhine River. One branch joins with the Waal River near Gorinchem to form the Merwede River, which flows into the North Sea. The other branch, called the Bergsche Maas, flows into an inlet of the North Sea south of Dordrecht. The Oude Maas (Old Meuse), which is a branch of the Waal, and the Nieuwe Maas (New Meuse), which is a continuation of the Lek River, actually belong to the Rhine estuary.

The Meuse is linked with the Belgian port of Antwerp by the Albert Canal and with Rotterdam and other Dutch ports by the intricate system of Dutch waterways; thus it is one of the chief thoroughfares of Europe. The Belgian section of the Meuse valley, especially around Namur and Liège, is an important industrial and mining region. A strategic line of defense, particularly in Belgium and France, the valley has been a battleground in many wars, and most of the cities along its course have been strongly fortified since the Middle Ages.

Answer 3

It's just beers of the Meuse region of France. Only northern France is notable for brewing - elsewhere in France they tend to prefer wine. I suppose it's a bit like a poster advertising beers of Burton Upon Trent. Perhaps the waters of the Meuse region are equally suitable for brewing.

Answer 5

Meuse is one of the original 83 départements created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from the former provinces of Barrois (area of Bar-le-Duc) and Three Bishoprics (area of Verdun).

The département was one of the great battlefields of World War I. An important battle was fought in 1916 at Verdun.
