Message harrisoni P beers 25366 º places 68 º 03:27 Tue 8/29/2017 I know it may not have the greatest beer list in the world, or indeed Belgium, but I will be in Brussels this weekend with work and would be happy to meet up with anyone who is around https://www.brussels.be/belgian-beer-weekend Anyone attending this?

Message Maakun beers 10309 º places 319 º 05:40 Tue 8/29/2017 I was there last year but they couldn’t let me in with my bag, it was almost closed anyway. I don’t think I’ll try this year.

Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 919 º 06:32 Tue 8/29/2017 I have never bothered going there, ignored by beer geeks, amongst casual beer lovers it is quite famous. On Saturday I will be doing 3F open door days & Moeder Lambiek Italian beer festival infinitely more interesting options.
Message adamnowek beers 7151 º places 117 º 07:25 Tue 8/29/2017 The Italian weekend at Moeder Lambic will definitely be a lot more interesting than this. Less tourists and you can take your backpack.

But that’s fine, hotel is only a couple of stops away
Message kraddel beers 10779 º places 386 º 10:05 Tue 8/29/2017 Yeah thaf fest.... went twice, u usually can find a tick or 2. But you’ll have to wait in line ( this is not the average in belgium ) and deal with LOADS of people, mostly drunks. Not many good beers, not a great atmosphere.... I understand you wanna go, but there are far better options. I myself am going to 3f saturday morning, and i’m working at the alvinne tap takeover in antwerp ( beerlovers bar ) also will be working sunday. I do however invite you over, if that is a possibility. If not, its prpbably better to try and meet up withsome geeks and do your own festival aka pubcrawl. Better beers, less stress ??
Message harrisoni P beers 25366 º places 68 º 10:42 Tue 8/29/2017 Yes the idea is to get there early Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday and do as many rates as I can in an hour or two before it gets really busy. I’ve had a look at the brewery list so I know what to expect. But it’s a quick, simple and inexpensive way to knock off some beers that I probably wouldn’t want to drink a whole 33cl bottle of. 9 tokens for 10 euros means a rate per euro.
