The Big Update on Belgianfest

In case you are not a WABL (and you should be), we are posting the following information, which was sent out to all WABLs this morning. The beer list is finally in. This is not the abbreviated one we posted earlier, but the complete list. The details about the Belgian Beer Dinner have only been released for WABL members, and seating is limited, so I’m not including that information here.

• The WABL Beer – Available only to WABL members, this beer is going to be a blend of different Belgianfest beers from the participating breweries. The brewers will get together after the New Year’s and decide the blend so no one knows what it’s going to be like at this point. It sure will be a beer you can’t miss, and of course it’ll be available exclusively to WABL members. So make sure to bring your Passport!

Please note that some beers are available in limited quantities and may run out early.
Belgian Beer Me!
A Belgian beer expert, Stu Stewart of Belgian Beer Me! will be on hand during Belgianfest to answer questions regarding the beer, history, culture and just about anything related to Belgium. Belgian Beer Me! also offers Belgian beer appreciation classes in Seattle and organizes Belgian beer tours every year.

Belgian Sweets
At Belgianfest you can expect some sweet treats. Bluebird Ice Cream will be serving up their delicious ice cream, including an egg nog ice cream made with Elysian’s Bete Noel. And how about some Belgian waffles to go with your ice cream? Try some waffles by Sweet Iron, a brand new waffle cafe in downtown Seattle. These waffles originated in the city of Liège, Belgium and are made with a brioche style dough containing pearl sugar.
