center. The new venue is the Brabanthal - which doubles the Festival's capacity!
 
It is a happy coincidence that it's the same weekend as the Toer de Gueze - where all nine of Belgium's Gueze breweries may be visited!
 
Davey and Glenn have confirmed that the incredible Alvinne Craft Beer Festival will remain on the first weekend of March (Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th) to coincide with the Nacht de Grote Dorst Gueze & Lambic Festival on Friday March 2.
 
What does this mean to the Belgian Beer Traveler? Easy - in 2012 - you'll have three GBBT tours to enjoy. GBBT 1 Feb 27-Mar 05; GBBT 2 April 23-30 and GBCBT Dec 11-18!
