1 The 5th. Bruges' Beer Fest - A Jubilee Edition! Contributed by Trappist Saturday, 28 January 2012 Last Updated Tuesday, 31 January 2012 Belgian Beer Board Hi, The 5th. Bruges' Beer Fest is approaching very fast! Already within 6 days, this jubilee edition will take place again. Although there was no 2011 edition, it seems this 5th. edition has arrived in no time. The English language poster The Dutch language poster Chairman Bruges' Autonomous Beer Tasters Marc Vandepitte showing the English language poster. IN(N) BRUGES, a nice wordplay on that movie In Bruges, starring Colin Farrell. Indeed, this is already the fifth edition, and we can speak about a jubilee edition. For that occasion, the tasting glasses have been re-styled. The logo that you see here above will also be on the 2012 BAB-tasting glasses. A nice logo, showing the co2-bubbles floating towards the top. Gives it that festivity feeling about it. Great concept!

54 For instance that beer from Belgium's newest brewery called brewery Fort Lapin. A new brewery located in Bruges. Still not operational at this moment (papers, etc..), but the tripel Fort Lapin 8 otoh is readily available at the fest! Observe the and Primeur! beers! Remarkable new beers there! Ofcourse the BBB will be present, and take some pictures for a next BIG pictorial impression. Here are the pictures from 2010 so you all already have some impression. Also, like last edition, I have organized a 2nd. Vintage Tasting. The tasting will happen on Sunday from 11am till 1pm at the room on the second floor inside the Belfry tower. Same room as last year. All details about the 2nd. Vintage Tasting are published inside the BBB-forum. See: The pictures of the 2010 Vintage Tasting can still be consulted by clicking the picture here above. A truely memorable tasting that was! And... there's more news to reveal: A handy iphone application!

55 This year ZapFi supports the Bruges' Beer Festival. This company will not only provide a free high-speed Wi-FI network at the disposal of the festival attendees, but also a ZapFi-iPhone application, The ZapFiti Bruges beerfestival APP, which allows you to locate zapzones. These are places in Bruges where a free zapfi Wi-FI network can be used. This application also provides information on the Brewers and the Beers proposed in the festival. The users will be able to scan QR-codes at the brewery stands, which will give access towards information on the brewer and the beers that are available. QR-Code - In addition, the user can give the beer a score, and post his appreciation. ZapFi will use the score figures and appreciations to determine the most popular beers and brewers of the festival. There will also be handed out prices amongst the participants. A TOP-10 scoreboard for beers and brewers will be updated in real time during the festival. Festival attendees who do not possess an iphone, can still participate. ZapFi has ensured that all smartphone-users can use the QR-code scanner on their smartphone. So they can also scan the QR-codes, and make their score and appreciation evaluation. More novelties: The Trappist beers stand, the Gueuze stand, and the BAB 401 beer stand will be installed on the ground floor. That's the area you reach just after entering the Belfry tower through the upper right gate. Trappist beers (including Trappist Westvleteren!), Old Gueuze, etc., BAB 401 beer can be tasted there. A cozy bar will be installed to offer all those goodies. This will actually enlighten the crowd pressure at the first floor, where all the rest of the breweries-beer firms-brew firms are housed. A very clever measure this is! Anyway, time's flying, and next weekend everything will happen again.

56 See you there chaps Cheers, Filip
