Celebrate National Belgian Beer Week at Bazi Bierbrasserie

The inaugural National Belgian Beer Week kicked off yesterday and will run through Friday, July 21st. This new week of highlighting and featuring Belgian brewed beers is a joint effort between four Belgian beer importers that includes Artisanal Imports, D&V International, Global Beer, and Merchant du Vin.

To help celebrate this new National Belgian Beer Week Portland’s premiere Belgian beer bar, Bazi Bierbrasserie will host four Belgian themed beer events Monday through Friday.

Here’s a breakdown on the four events that will take place this coming week.

Mussels, Beers, and EGGS! – Monday, July 17 (5-9pm)
Join Merchant Du Vin, specialty beer importers since 1978 with two specials during the night.

Mussels Monday – 1 lb of mussels made with a creamy DuBocq Saison sauce, frites and served with a glass of Du Bocq for only $15. Gluten-free option available with Green’s IPA.

St Arnoldus Day – Tuesday, July 18 (5-9pm)
Every July 18, the Belgians honor Saint Arnoldus with a feast in Brussels. He’s most famous for urging his congregation to “Drink Beer, Not Water” during a plague epidemic. Because beer is sterilized in production and the local water was the source of the sickness, people were saved. A true miracle!

A special tasting with Artisanal Imports featuring La Trappe Tripel, Bosteels Kwak, De Proef & New Glarus collaboration Absolution, and La Trappe Quad will be available for $12 (4 – 5 oz pours).

Attendees who purchase the tasting tray will receive raffle tickets for swag giveaways taking place during the evening included St Arnoldus t-shirts, tank tops, bottle openers, and more (while supplies last).
