A Mature Achievement – The International Beer & Cheese Tasting @Berlin

Belgian brewing and cheese-making traditions meet Berlin’s beer specialities: the Beer & Cheese Rendezvous in Berlin with experts from Belgium

To mark the 10th anniversary of Belgian beer’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we have spared no expense or effort. Together with the organisation VISITFLANDERS, we invite you to an extraordinary pairing evening: to accompany each perfectly matured premium cheese from Flanders’ most renowned affineur, Frédéric von Tricht, we will serve two beers (0.1l each) – one from the Belgian Brouwerij ‘t Verzet and one from Lemke Brewery. An unforgettable crossover experience with inspiring speakers from Belgium, bridging the gap between Belgium Beer Week and Berlin Beer Week 2026. Secure one of the limited-edition tickets!
