Belgian Beer Weekend is upon us, with the Belgian Brewers association paying tribute to Belgian Brewers Day and Saint Arnould, the patron saint of brewers today with the blessing of the beer barrel at St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral accompanied with pageant and pomp.
The official opening of the festival takes place this afternoon at the Grand-Place of Brussels, with Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Brussels Mayor Philippe Close. You can watch our video of the beer barrel blessing here: https://www.idiots.beer/st-arnould-belgians-bless-their-beer/
