Brussels Beer Challenge returns to Brussels

The Brussels Beer Challengewas to its 5th edition in 2016.

After Brussels (2012), Liège (2013), Leuven

(2014) and Antwerp (2015), this international

event took once again place in

Brussels!

Brussels – capital of Europe, city of Manneken Pis and the

Atomium, of chocolat, fries and beer,…

The Brussels Beer Challenge returns for this birthday edition to the city

where it all began five years ago. Brussels is famous for its impressive

city hall on the Grand Place, its Manneken Pis, its Atomium,… and of

course for our three delicious delicacies: chocolat, fries and… beer!

Brussels is the place to be(er) for those who like to shop during the

day and party at night. It is a vibrant city where Flemings, Walloons,

“Ketjes” and more than 160 different nationalities live together in the

capital of Europe. An international city for an international event!

The participating beers were divided into categories based on origin, typicityand style and then evaluated. At the end of the three tasting days, the best beers in each category were awarded a gold, silver or bronze award.

Why organize this beer competition in Belgium?

Belgium is without a doubt the most unique beer country. Our

country has a great expertise and an international reputation. It is

only fitting that Belgium has his own professional beer contest.

The mixed presence of both national and international specialists

ensures that the awarded beers at the Brussels Beer Challenge can

count on a huge media interest and international recognition.

The Brussels Beer Challenge took place from

November 3rd to November 6th 2016.
