The fifth edition of Belgium Beer Week also features beer museums across the country as part of the cultural experience. Beer experts and guides will also provide talks on Belgium’s beer history and the emerging field of beer archaeology, which traces the roots of beer making.

Ahmed ElAmin, Bas Boiy and Dieter Proost, the organisers of Belgium Beer Week, said this fifth edition highlights the rich history and culture of beer in Belgium.

“It’s always a wonderful surprise to see the types of innovative events that  participants deliver for Belgium Beer Week,” said ElAmin. “For the 2024 edition, we are going bigger and even better by expanding to more places in Belgium and across the world.”

Hij voegde eraan toe: "De Belgische biercultuur is door de UNESCO erkend als immaterieel cultureel erfgoed van de mensheid. Dit jaar kijken we uit naar een geweldige reeks evenementen die deze ongelooflijk rijke cultuur laten zien en tastbaarder maken voor bezoekers."

How it works: Belgium Beer Week is supported by Beer Idiots vzw, a non-profit that publishes news and information on beer culture (www.idiots.beer). There are no tickets for Belgium Beer Week, although participants may charge a fee for some events, such as food and beer pairings. Belgium Beer Week is free to all participating venues and organisations in Belgium and around the world.
