CHEERS TO 25 YEARS!

Join us at the iconic Grand-Place in Brussels from 5–7 September 2025 for a legendary anniversary edition.

What to expect at Belgian Beer Weekend 2025

Crowd of people at an outdoor festival with white tents, historic buildings, and a clear evening sky in the background.

Over 50 breweries.
Hundreds of brews.
One iconic square.

Belgian Beer Weekend brings together a curated selection of breweries from across the country—from family-run microbreweries to legendary Trappist producers.

Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, rich dubbels, crisp saisons or fruit-forward lambics, there’s a glass with your name on it. Explore old favourites or try something you’ve never heard of. It’s all part of the experience.

A street band performs with a banjo and brass instrument, wearing matching outfits and straw hats, entertaining people on a city street.

It’s not just a tasting,
it’s a weekend-long celebration.

The atmosphere is as rich as the beer itself. Picture this: live music echoing through the cobblestones, friends clinking glasses under the stars, and the world’s most beautiful square as your festival backdrop.

Whether you come for the beer, the music, the people—or all three—you’ll find that the vibe here is something truly special.

A milestone year,
with a few extra
surprises.

In 2025, we celebrate 25 years of Belgian Beer Weekend—and while the core of the event stays classic, this edition brings something extra.

We won’t spoil the surprise just yet, but you can expect some unexpected touches to mark the occasion. Think of it as a little toast from us to everyone who’s been part of the journey.
