Belgium is known for taking beer seriously. They make it in as many colours and flavours as you could possibly imagine – including fruit flavours – and make some of the most potent brews known to man. Which is why their beer festivals demand you sit up and pay attention – as least at the offset. The Belgium Beer Weekend is one of the most accessible, held in Brussels' lovely Grand Place, which is lined with stalls under white umbrellas.
It's organised by the Belgium Brewers and the Knighthood of the Brewer's Mashstaff – sounds promising doesn't it. And when you consider the 225 beers on offer, from near and far, more often than not served by one of the people who helped brew it, then you really have yourself a promising beer related event.
