We’ll keep things simple: good people, good beers, good vibes, for a nice time in our very own Leuven.
Every year in June, we celebrate the anniversary of our small watering hole, Hops N More. In 2026, it will be our 6th anniversary. In 2026, we'll have a party while doing a Beer Festival!
We specifically want to keep the event enjoyable for everyone, guests and brewers, hence we look for a line up of approx. 16-20 brewers (8 Leuven/Belgian + 8 international and an extra “North America corner/ Yes You CAN”).
A laid-back atmosphere in a nice setting close to the center of Leuven: Hal 5.
Former train warehouses, this event hall is within close walking distance of Leuven city center and very easily accessible with public transport (train/bus station less than 5 min walk, city center approx. 10-15 min walk).
The event space offers a cozy indoor area which will consist of:
Hal 5 has its own food vendors (Antico Sourdough pizza, Habibi Falafel & Palestinian food, Memorijs Ice cream + bar with soft drinks), so this is also covered for the event.
Do I need an admission ticket to visit the festival?
Yes. You always need an admission ticket to enter the festival. This ticket gives you access to the festival, the brewery stands, the overall experience, a festival glass, and you also receive an initial set of tokens. You can choose between a day ticket or a combi 2-day ticket.
How do I pay for the beers?
To taste beers, you need drink tokens.
You can:
Can I buy food at the festival?
Yes. HAL 5 has several food stands in the hall: Antico Pizza, Habibi Falafel & Palestinian Food, and Memorijs. You pay directly at the food stand (not with festival tokens).
The festival is ideally located, just a 5-minute walk from Leuven railway station and several nearby bus stops.
You can also easily walk from Leuven city centre, and there is ample bicycle parking available.
Coming by car? You can park in the surrounding streets nearby (please note: paid parking or parking with a blue disc applies).
Whether you prefer a charming B&B or would rather stay in a well-known chain hotel, Leuven has it all.
