Get ready to celebrate the winter holidays early this year with a refreshing pint of Belgian brew at Shinjuku Sumitomo Building’s Sankaku Hiroba. Held for five days from December 11 to December 15, the Shinjuku edition of Belgian Beer Weekend will feature a lineup of over 70 different Belgian beers.
Find your favourite brew from popular labels like Chimay and Duvel to rarer beers like Omer and Enghien d’Hiver. On top of that, there are a variety of stalls serving beer grub including Belgian meatballs, Belgian Lutosa ‘frites’, sausages, fried shrimp and more.
Coinciding with the holiday season, Belgian Beer Weekend will also be offering caramel and apple cinnamon chocolate from Belgian chocolatier Delrey – a perfect pairing to a bitter pint.
While entrance to the festival is free, you will need an original Belgian Beer Weekend 2024 glass and tokens to enjoy the drinks. Get the starter set for ¥3,500 (¥3,750 on the day); it comes with 10 tokens, which will get you two to three drinks. You can always purchase more tokens at ¥1,100 for packs of four.
