For the love Belgian beer and food, there’s Nuit Belge (Sponsor)

Love Belgian beer and some of the best food Atlanta has to offer? Then January’s Nuit Belge event in Atlanta is where you need to be.

You are at Beer Street Journal right now because you love beer, so lets start there. Nuit Belge showcases  30 amazing Belgian and Belgian-style beers, from saisons to sours, Trappist ales, strong dark ales… you get the idea.

Each of those 30 beers are expertly paired by 14 of Atlanta’s best restaurants and chefs, showing you how well beer and food pair together.

Rhizome Productions, best known (at least in our book) for Nashville’s 12 South Winter Warmer Festival, started Nuit Belge in 2014. Instant success. Founder Matt Leff decided to take this even on the road in 2016, so we pushed for Atlanta to be the next stop.

Additionally, the highly touted Blackberry Farm from East Tennessee is supporting the event both in beer and culinary support. Olive and Sinclair Artisan Chocolates out of Nashville (think Terrapin Moo-Hoo) will be providing chocolate samples. The whole idea is designed to elevate the beer and food game.

Nuit Belge will be held on January 23rd, 2016 at The Foundry and Puritan Mill. The venue has great lighting, and will feature live music, lounge areas, and clean restrooms. Dress to impress folks. This is no beer festival. There is even valet.

Each restaurant will serve you two tastes of each dish, strategically paired with a beer. In addition to these key restaurants, expect a raw bar, cheese tasting, chocolate tasting, and charcuterie.

Participating Restaurants Include:

Ba Bellies
Blackberry Farm
Bhojanic
Cooks & Soldiers
City House Nashville-guest
