60 OF THE BEST BREWERIES IN THE WORLD
Billie's craft beer fest 2026
Billie’s Craft Fear Fest: A Celebration of Brews and Boos
Friday, November 13 & Saturday, November 14, 2026 – 4:00 PM (CET)
The Waagnatie, Antwerp (Belgium)
Foodcourt opens at 2:30 PM (CET)
Dare to enter… if you thirst for more than just beer. On this fateful Friday the 13th weekend, The Waagnatie transforms into a haunted haven for the brave and the thirsty. Shadows twist between the kegs, and whispers echo through the hall—each pint poured a spell, each sip a sinfully good delight.
Prepare to lose yourself among over 60 world-class breweries, each conjuring their most wicked brews. From blood-red sours to midnight-dark stouts, you’ll taste creations so bold they could wake the dead.
Whether you’re a seasoned beer necromancer or a curious newcomer to the craft, Billie’s Craft Fear Fest has something to tempt every soul.
Beware the eerie glow of the food court, its doors creak open at 2:30 PM, offering cursedly delicious dishes and unholy pairings designed to awaken your darkest cravings.
As you wander the misty halls, surrounded by beer fanatics, international brewers, and spectral sounds, expect more than just great beer… Expect the unexpected.
Entertainment rises from the grave as local artists perform chilling sets to keep your heart pounding in rhythm with the night.
What to Expect in the Shadows:
The most frightfully fine beers the craft scene can summon
Brewer attendance (don’t be alarmed if they seem possessed by passion)
Ghoulishly good food
Sinister fun & games
Music that stirs the spirits
And above all: No Crap. Just Craft.
Your ALL-IN TICKET includes:
🎃 Entry into the haunted halls of Billie’s Craft Fear Fest
🍺 A custom BCBF tasting glass—yours to keep
👻 Unlimited tastings of 480 different beers (240 each night—twice the temptation)
💀 A refillable bottle of water to keep you mortal (food & cloakroom not included)
Bottle sharing is welcome—but beware: limit 2 bottles per person. Too many, and who knows what you might summon…
