On Sunday 2 April  2017 the walk is officially inaugurated. Together with an experienced nature guide you will discover Beersels natural beauty. Along the way you will pass several stops that will encourage you to keep going on.

Pictures: Brussels beer tasting

For several years there have been many moves in the Brussels beer scène. Breweries, beer stores and specialised catering businesses are springing up like mushrooms from the ground. Next to Brasserie Cantillon, for decades the only Brussels brewery, there was suddenly starting up Brasserie de la Senne in Molenbeek and in recent years also Brussels Beer Project, En Stoemelings and Beerstorming rose up. And if we wait a bit the Stock Exchange will be transformed in a real beer temple! High time we thought to taste some new Brussels beers like BBP Barrel Aged, Smokey Mc Smoke, Noirølles and Déu N’Hi Do!, because … “e goo verke mag alles”. 🙂

Lambikstoempers Beer weekend wins bronze medal

End 2016 already for the fifth time the Beer Awards Digital Festival was organised by the guys of the beer website www.beerawards.be, a now burly database on all Belgian beers that ever anywhere won a prize. And yes, this year we won a prize too! 😀

badf16

Voting was done throughout the whole month of December 2016. On your favorite beers, divided in several  categories, but also on your … ‘Beer Event of the year’. And it is in this categorie that our Beer weekend – invariably organised during the last full weekend of August – won a bronze medal !

Bronze medal

Unfortunately we couldn’t be present at the ceremony, on Tuesday 7 February 2017 at Jilles Beer & Burgers in Bruges, but in meantime we received our award through digital post. And we’re proud of it! 😉

Beer weekend bronze medal 2016

This way you can also hear it from someone else: our Beer weekend – this year on 26-27 August 2017 – is certainly worth a while! 🙂

In Belgium there are only 2 other events that – according to the 15.000 voters of the #BADF16 – are more worthwhile and these are the “Weekend van het Volkscafé” (gold) and the Brussels Beer Challenge (silver). But of course not all the voters already visited our Beer weekend, otherwise those events wouldn’t have had a chance. Isn’t it? (Just joking guys, congratulations to the other winners!)

The Lambikstoemper

Again this year our blogger Kristof Verhasselt won an award with his beerblog Lambikstoemper.wordpress.com. This edition he received the silver medal in the category ‘Beer website of the Year’. Congratulations! And erh … next time you again go for gold, man! 😉

Let’s drink to that. Cheers!
