World famous Zythos Beer Festival this weekend

Zythos Beer Fest - The reborn cousin of the 24 hours of Beer fest, offers a wide range of Belgian beer often served by the brewer.
No need to change a winning combination....Just like the previous festivals there will be around sixty brewers and numerous beer marketing companies presenting their finest brews.

By purchasing €1 coins you can have your 15cl tasting glass (deposit €3) filled with liquid candy. Throughout the hall, resting places are set up and there's a food bazaar . It is prohibited to smoke within the complex.

In order to keep the festival going, the organizers sell beer merchandising at the entrance. Sint-Niklaas can be easily reached by train from Brussels, Leuven, Gent and Antwerpen. The location is only 150m from the station. And there's parking next to the building.

A Blatant Push for more Belgium STUDS members

As companies are cutting back on their expat assignments due to these difficult financial times, we have had a number of quality people leaving STUDS as they repatriate to their home countries.
If you are new to Belgium, or even if you've been here for awhile and are looking to make some new friends, please come on by to our weekly lunch on Fridays and meet some of the group.
Read more about what STUDS is, in the "What Is Belgium STUDS" column on the right hand side, or visit the STUDS website for more details and pictures.

Please keep in mind, you do not have to fit the generic profile listed to be a member of STUDS. If you can drink a beer, and manage to spew a little conversation or bullshit, at the same time...you pretty much qualify.

We intend to keep this blog updated with upcoming events in and around Belgium, and personal articles written by our members. It will also be used to update any STUDS events upcoming.
We will take submissions also, if we feel it would be of expat or group interest.

If you desire a little daily news, humour, politics and debate, check out our STUDSBLOG which is updated several times a day. Please keep in mind this is a little boys club and some of the material can be a bit cheeky and not always safe for work. You have been warned!
