We are so happy to report that this year\u2019s Best of the Belgians Beer Fest<\/strong> rocked it!\u00a0 The festival is an exclusive event hosted by Boca Ballet Theatre<\/strong>, a nonprofit (charitable) cultural youth organization. All net proceeds go to support that organization and its outreach programs such as BBT4PD<\/strong> -a movement program for those living with Parkinsons\u2019\u00a0<\/span>disease, and 1st<\/sup> Step<\/strong> -an activity program for children at risk due to financial and cultural challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of the event was twofold- to support this valuable charitable organization and to increase the awareness of the great variety of delicious Belgian beers here in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting to chat with special guests from Belgium<\/strong> \u2013 Kris Herteleer<\/strong> and his wife Els<\/strong>, from De Dolle Brouwers<\/strong> and Regnier De Muynck<\/strong> from Le Trappiste Brugge<\/strong> specialty beer bar, was a special treat for festival attendees, who also enjoyed live music, Belgian food, raffles and of course, some of the best beer available (and some special stuff not usually available!)<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of the Belgian-beer community and the organizers and sponsors: Boca Ballet Theatre, Barrel of Monks Brewing, Cavalier Distributing, WLRN Public Media and Bon Beer Voyage<\/strong>, the festival achieved and <\/span>surpassed its goals, with attendee numbers increased from previous years and close to $20,000 raised for the beneficiary programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to all who volunteered, attended and contributed!\u00a0 Cheers to Belgian Beers!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
