O.B.E.R. (Objective Beer tasters Essen Region) organizes its Christmas Beer Festival every year. For two days visitors can taste more than
150 Belgian Christmas and winter beers. To let you judge the different brews at best, we use 15 cl tasting glasses. A glass can be obtained for 3 Euro, but if you return it to us when you leave, you get a full refund. However, lots of glasses are kept as souvenirs.
To create optimal tasting conditions the event will be kept completely smoke
free.
Our beer list is regarded as one of the best in the world, with several scoops and interesting gems combined with world classics.
As per last year we'll probably have more than 100 different bottled beers to taste, and
12 or 16 on draught. Hot served Gluhkriek will of course still be available as well.
Our soup and beefstew prepared with Christmas beer and bread baked with Christmas beer are also rapidly becoming a legend.
At last year's festival about 2500 thirsty Christmas-beer-lovers came to the festival in Essen. And not only from Belgium! We have a very international audience coming from the Netherlands, England, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Sweden,
Italy, Spain, Russia,
Denmark, Norway, New-Zealand, Japan, Canada and the USA.
Check out our beer list regularly, or join the mailinglist. Just fill in "join
Christmas mailing list" on this form, press send, and we'll keep you posted! A first temporary list will be available online the second half of November.
