Raise a Glass to Brussels: Belgian Beer Weekend & a Stylish Stay at Warwick Grand-Place
There’s no better place to celebrate Belgium’s most famous export than in the very heart of its capital. From 5 to 7 September 2025, the Grand-Place will once again transform into a lively stage for the 25th edition of Belgian Beer Weekend. Picture this: golden ales and rich stouts flowing from festival tents, live music echoing against historic façades, and a joyful crowd savouring every sip. And when the day winds down, Warwick Grand-Place Brussels awaits—an elegant retreat just steps away from the festivities.
Belgian Beer Weekend at Grand-Place
Every September, Brussels’ UNESCO-listed Grand-Place becomes the epicentre of Belgian beer culture, and 2025 marks a milestone year with its 25th celebration. More than 50 breweries will showcase their finest brews—think crisp IPAs, velvety dubbels, refreshing saisons, and tart lambics—creating a kaleidoscope of flavours for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
But this event is more than just a tasting session. Expect an energetic festival atmosphere complete with live bands, parades, and a buzzing international crowd. Admission is free, and the convenient card system makes sampling effortless, so visitors can focus on discovering their next favourite Belgian beer.
