Vleteren Craft Beer Festival Aka Bdd I

"Black Damnation Days 2017 is born".

"Only rule, great beers!".

We're proud to announce, that The Beer Pilgrims Vleteren, our local beer society, will launch their first Vleteren Craft Beer Festival Aka Bdd I on June 10th and 11th 2017. Saturday, this both local and International beer festival will be open to the public from 14u00 to 23u00 (2PM to 11PM). On Sunday opening hours will be from 11u00 to 23u00 (11AM to 11PM).

Invitations will be sent out to most Westhoek breweries as of tomorrow, and of course to International breweries as well. We hope that 25 breweries can & will join us. To make sure these breweries, and our festival guests will have all the space possible, The Festival will happen in De Sceure in Oostvleteren.

We thank our fan-base for their great ideas, and sharing this post as much as possible, this will spread the word around.
