Celebrating the delights of Flanders' best malts, hops and barley, the three-day Beer Passion festival takes place in Antwerp's Groenplaats at the heart of the Old Town. A large beer tent and food stalls selling nibbles dot the square.
With over 150 different beers to sample, beer fans can indulge in Flemish, Walloon, German and Czcech brews over the course of a weekend.
Last year several thousand visitors drunk well over 10,000 beers and this year promises much of the same, so mind your step! The customary brass bands and live music mean that the atmosphere is likely to be just as intoxicating. Entrance is free, save the compulsory purchase of a €2 Beer Passion glass at the door. All beers are €1.50, payable in the form of tokens.
