What a week. Thank you for participating in Belgium Beer Week and prepare for Belgium Beer Week 2027 from 23 to 29 August 2027.
When we launched Belgium Beer Week seven years ago, we had a simple idea: bring together the bars, breweries, beer cafés and guides who love Belgian beer culture and give them a week to celebrate it together.
This year, almost 200 venues across 15 countries raised a glass to Belgian beer culture — from Brussels to Berlin, from São Paulo to Sheffield, from Warsaw to Hong Kong. Seven editions in, and B*W26 was the biggest, boldest and most international edition we have ever run. We are genuinely humbled by that.
None of it happens without you. To every venue that signed up, planned an event, poured a Belgian beer and opened their doors to their community this week — thank you. You are what Belgium Beer Week is. To our incredible network of B*W Ambassadors — your personal outreach, your passion and your belief in this celebration makes it possible to grow the way it has. We are grateful for every message sent, every contact made and every venue brought into the fold.
We hope you all had a wonderful week, that your events were full, your taps were flowing and your customers left a little more in love with Belgian beer than when they walked in.
Now — get ready for Belgium Beer Week 2027 from 23 to 29 August 2027.
We're already thinking about what the 8th edition can be, and we'd love for you to be part of shaping it. Whether you have ideas for events, new venues you'd like to bring in, or thoughts on how we can make B*W even bigger and better — we want to hear from you. The earlier we plan together, the stronger the week becomes for everyone.
Stay close, keep pouring, and we'll see you in August 2027. And remember to visit idiots.beer for your latest beer interviews, the beer agenda and our festival calendar. Keep in touch.
Cheers 🍺
