The event organizers have worked hard to select only independent breweries that produce quality craft beers. In the words of the organizers, «At BXLBeerFest there is no place for industrial beers – good honest beer, straight from the brewer to you!».
In addition to beer, the festival also has a focus on gastronomy. The organizers believe that beer and good food go hand in hand, like malt and hops. Therefore, the BXLBeerFest will also give beer the culinary recognition it deserves.
