Nice commercial banderole from "De Brouwers van de Grote Markt" situated at Brussels main square.

Bry. De Musketiers

 

Bry. De Musketiers. Already 5 years young. A small brewery raised by 4 students from Ghent. Beers brewed at the 'Proef' brewery in Lochristi. Troubadour Obscura is a non-misser !

 

Bry. Boelens

 

The brewery Boelens beerchoice. Their brand new beer is called "Waaslander". Great beer with a very distinguish coriander spiciness. Remarkable !

 

Brasserie Artisanalle de Rulles
Nice wooden beerbox including three different Rulles beers. A nice gift package. BTW: The quality is exceptional.

 

New microbrewery "De Glazen Toren". This small brewery is lead by famous beerwriter/connaisseur Jef van den Steen. Jef can be seen here on the picture with glass in the hand.

 

Saison d'Erpe-Mere (The only Flemish Saison!) and Ondinneke (red emblemed paper). Again the quality of those two beers is from a real beauty. An example for many breweries !!

 

A nice 'De Glazen Toren' commercial also showing the glass that goes with it.

 

Brasserie Lefebvre and De Troch stand.
Bob Hendrickx, the maker from the must-have booklets "295 Originele Cafés in Vlaanderen" and "185 Eetcafes in Vlaanderen". he is also representative bry. Lefebvre. It seems the sandwich was very tasty :-)

 

Karel Goddeau from "Geuzestekerij De Cam" pouring out some most exclusive de Cam "Krieklambiek". poured out through a nice old handpump. The other handpump contained some very rare De Cam Faro, which is sweetened (candisugar) Lambic.

 

Bottled Oude Geuze De Cam poured out in the glass on the left. The right glass contained some marvelous De Cam "Krieklambiek" straight from the handpump. The red color of the foam and beer was remarkable. Again a non-misser at the fest.

 

At the "De Cam" stand.
Left: Tom Allewaert, owner beer pub/restaurant/hotel De Erasmus at Bruges and the brain behind the Belgian Beer Card website.
On the right side: Alain (le nain!) Fayet from that most exclusive beer restaurant Restobières at Brussels.

 

Sunday evening around 21pm. Chairman Zythos Erik Vandeperre leaving the room, participants beginning to clean up their stands.

 

GREAT FEST !
Well organised !
Great breweries again !
Nice background music this time !
Great attendance of beer lovers also from foreign countries !
And last but not least a big presence of top-quality Belgian Beer.
I'm satisfied !!!!!!
Thanks to all of the organizers.

CHEERS !

Till next year..............
