    Looking into heading to Belgium for a beer trip and I am looking for recommendations of beer festivals in Belgium.

    We’ve enjoyed some crackers in Bavaria over the years but we fancy taking the train to Belgium and having a bit of a road trip albeit by train!

    Not Belgium, and not soon, but I highly recommend the Borefts Beer Fest in Bodegraven, Netherlands. It is held Fri/Sat around the 3rd weekend in September. Have been to the last 2 and they've been great!!

    Prosit!

    My two favorite beer fests in Belgium were Belgian Beer Weekend in Brussels and Zythos. Although there are many others and if you use goggle, you could ask specific questions here.

    It happens every two years, but Night of the Great Thirst is superb (if you like lambic).....
