Second edition "Waregemse Bier Happening" - Holy Saturday 22nd of March 2008
Doors: 1 PM CET
New Location: Red Path at the Hippodrome, Holstraat 99, 8790 Waregem, Belgium.
The hippodrome of Waregem is mostly know from "Waregem Koerse", the biggest horse-race event of Belgium.
The First bottle, the Piraat bottle, is sold for the amazing amount of 275 euro.
We would like to thank everyone who made it possible that we reached this fantastic amount.
Thanks to you all, we can already offer 275 euro to somival ( www.somival.be )
You really showed that you have the hart in the right place.
For the people who missed this first bottle, there are still some very nice bottles left. Click on the logo of the bottle you desire to bring out a bid and help us to help Somival. Let the 275 euro be a start of something amazing.
We were quite amazed today, because, thanks to the generosity of brewery Vansteenberghe, we received not just one bottle of Piraat, but we received 3. That is why you can still bid on one more if you click the following link: Piraat
The third one will be auctioned live @ Red Path amongst the people that are there.
To make sure that all bottles stay unique, we will alter the label and number the bottles.
Presumably 14 brewers are attending our beer happening, but more important, all brewers are going to do something speciale !
Some will even suprise us with an absolute first !
These brewers already confirmed:
Alvinne, Bavik,het Alternatief, De Hoevebrouwers, 't Hofbrouwerijke, de Struise Brouwers, Van Steenberghe (Bios), De Bie, Lupiline, Pado, Buitenlust, 't Gaverhopke, Dupont, Brasserie des Légendes
Totally unexpected, this year there's also an auction for a good cause in Waregem.
Good cause = Somival
