Expect to find a wide selection of Belgian beers at the event, including favorites among beer connoisseurs like Trappist beers and IPAs. But even if beer is not your usual go-to drink, you’ll find something to enjoy in the selection of fruit beers and white beers on offer.

Of course, what’s a beer fest without some grub to soak up the suds? Classic Belgian snacks like “frites” (fried potatoes) and Belgian shrimp croquettes will also be on the menu. These Belgian beer partners are the perfect accompaniment for your glass of the golden brew.
