Brussels to host Belgian Beer Weekend

Brussels to host Belgian Beer Weekend
28 Jul 2010

People with a soft spot for beer might be interested in arranging a trip to Belgium this year to attend a popular festival.

Returning for its 12th edition, the Belgian Beer Weekend will be held at Grand Place in the centre of Brussels from 3 to 5 September.

At least 50 breweries will participate in the festival, ranging from small, independent outlets to large companies.

Visitors will therefore have the opportunity to sample a wide range of regional and unusual beers while enjoying some of the special events and entertainment that will take place over the weekend.

The festival will officially open to the public at 18:00 local time on 3 September, following a celebration of Saint-Arnould, the patron saint of brewers, and the inauguration of the beer stands earlier in the day.

Displays and parades of old brewery carts and beer wagons will take place on the Saturday and Sunday.

Travellers can catch flights to Brussels with a number of carriers, including bmi, British Airways and Brussels Airlines.
