WORLD MAP
As per last year we’d like to know where you’re from and we want to reward our visitors coming from afar. You can stick a pin in your country on our world map and the first one from each country gets a free token. Last year the result on our map was 30 countries and 17 American States. Bear in mind: you have to show a passport, driver’s license or other proof concerning your home country. Members of Zythos, PINT, CAMRA or other EBCU associated organizations will get one token for free for the weekend, as it was the previous years.You can get your free token at info stand between the exclusive beers bar and the book shop.

Cheers,

End of update.

This beer festival is really one of Belgium’s best, especially if you enjoy winter beers, barrel-aged brews, and special, often stronger, rarities.

They also do merchandise well, as there is plenty of Kerstbier-branded shirts, in short and long-sleeves, and also polo shirts. They’ll have a good selection of food too, and there is also a frites shop or two nearby. Get there!

Get there early. Yep, there will be a line.
