Calendar East Flanders Beers Advent Calendar
C'est bientôt la saison des calendriers de l'avent
An advent calendar with beers from the province from East Flanders inside.
Isn't that a good idea? Whether you are from East Flanders or curious, we have selected 24 different beers including minimum 12 beers from the province of East Flanders
The East Flanders breweries selected for this Advent Beer Calendar are very diverse. Many possibilities exist between the large family breweries such as De Brabandere, Halve Maan and Omer and the recently created small microbreweries such as Siphon and Verzet or Viven. There are also several breweries that pay homage to sour beers such as the De Leite and Alvinne breweries.

- Alvinne: brewery specializing in sour beers with its own yeast
- De Brabandere: second oldest Flemish brewery still in operation.
- De Leite: brewery specializing in sour beers, another benchmark
