Belgian Biere Fest at Novare Res

As some might know, Novare Res started their annual Belgian Biere Fest this past Saturday. This should be a pretty huge deal for Portland beer drinkers as a large portion of what will be offered through these 3 weeks are rare for our neck of the woods.

Eric Michaud pulls all stops for this event. The tap list is all Belgian styles, some from their homeland, some from right here in the States, all well worth your cash. Among some sampled from the beginning weekend are: Kerkom Bink Blond (Belgian Pale 5.50%), Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux (Saison 9.50%) and Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus (Lambic 5.00%). That is some serious beer right there.

If you are a Belgian fan, you’ve probably already been a couple times in the past two days (Hi!). If you are not a fan, or don’t have enough knowledge to make up your mind, this is the place you need to be to change that. These beers are all over the place and you will certainly find something you love.

Planned breweries for the fest include val dieu, slaghmuylder, het anker, blaugies, ellezelloise, chimay, augustijn, geants, jandrain-jandrenouille, alvinne, kapittel, serafijn, st. bernardus, la rules.

While this isn’t Novare Res’ “We’re not fucking around” Fest, they are not slouching on this fest either. Get in and give them a try. A few trips are advised.
