Belgian Beer Weekend Tokyo

Already more than 10 years, in the first weekend of September, the beautiful “Grand Place” of Brussels, a UNESCO World Heritage with its town hall of the 15th century, serves as the setting for the famous BELGIAN BEER WEEKEND. For the first time ever, this tradition will be taken abroad and debut in Tokyo!

At the Belgian Beer Weekend Tokyo, more than 40 different Belgian beers will be served! Classified according to 10 different beer categories, each beer is truly unique, bringing an unknown variety of tastes and colors. From the traditional pilsner to the exceptional lambic, all the great Belgian beer tastes will be available. And for those going hungry we strongly recommend the famous Belgian frites, delicious roast chicken and Belgian waffles.

To make the Belgian beer experience complete, Belgian top bands STIJN, DAAU and Michel Bisceglia Trio will perform live at the arena.

Don’t miss some of the best Belgian beers, delicious food & live music outdoor in Roppongi!
