Festive weekend ahead



Independence day is celebrated on July 21 but this year will be a bit special. King Albert II will step down in favor of his son Philippe. The abdication ceremony will take place at the Royal Palace, Sunday morning and shortly afterwards the new king will be sworn in before both chambers of the Belgian parliament.
What will you be doing during these festivities? Participate in the "bal populaire" Saturday night, have a beer or watch the events from a distance?

    What is the appropriate beer to toast such a festive event?

      oh, Loach, the choice in this beer country is endless and, to be honest, I would not know what would be the most appropriate... for me, anything works.

    Hallo Anni,
    Voor ons zal het wel tv kijken zijn. Ik wens onze nieuwe koning in elk geval veel sterkte en doorzicht in de zware taak die hem te wachten staat!
    Beste groeten, Frans
