UK Belgian Beer Week 2025
10 February 2025
We've been celebrating Belgian Beer since our inception in 1978, and this year we're pushing that celebration even further.
The Belgian Family Brewers 'Belgian Beer Weekend' is one of the first dates in our diary every year. An iconic event taking over the Grand Place in Brussels, giving each of the Family Brewers their own stand, to serve their beer (in the correct glassware of course), and throw a huge celebration of Belgian Beer.
Inspired by the spirit of this legendary event, we've invited many of our friends across to host a series of events nationwide in the last week of February. Covering 11 different breweries, and more than 30 events, in some of the best bars in the country.
There's still plenty opportunity for you to participate too. Order some Belgian beer, to pour the week of the 24th of February, and tag us in on social media, and we'll share your celebration too.
All year round, we host the UK's widest Belgian beer range, and today it just got even wider with the addition of a huge selection of limited releases, and one offs, from some of our closest partners. Have a browse and Celebrate Belgian Beer.
