Which beer to choose for the end-of-year festivities?

Posted by Isabelle Bellet on 11th Dec 2025

The end-of-year festivities are the perfect chance to surprise and delight your guests with extraordinary beers.

How about choosing champenoise-style beers that are fine and sparkling for elegant toasts? Try Deus Brut des Flandres or Malheur Brut.

Or let yourself be tempted by Christmas beers, rich in spices and comforting flavors that evoke the magic of winter. Nearly every brewery is presenting a Christmas beer by the end of the year.

For those who appreciate complexity, oak-aged beers add a touch of sophistication, while quadruples offer unmatched strength and roundness. 

 Enjoy festive or gourmet triples like La Fourchette or Grand Mir Festive. 

And what about creamy stouts or generous winter beers, ideal for warming hearts on long evenings? 

Did you know that Gueuze is considered the ‘Champagne of Brussels’?

The name ‘Champagne of Brussels’ has its roots in the history and unique characteristics of this beer:

  • A Unique Fermentation Process: 
    Like champagne, Gueuze is the result of blending and a second fermentation in the bottle. It is obtained by blending young (1 year old) and old (2 to 3 years old) lambics, giving it a natural effervescence and unrivalled aromatic complexity.
  • An Elegant Effervescence: 
    Like champagne, Gueuze develops a fine, persistent mousse and a refreshing acidity that makes it a festive and refined drink.
  • Terroir and expertise: 
    Gueuze is inseparable from the Brussels region and the Senne valley, where the climate and local wild yeasts give lambic its unique character. This terroir, combined with ancestral expertise, has earned it this prestigious comparison.
  • A drink for celebrations: 
    Since the 19th century, gueuze has been served on special occasions, just like champagne in France. Its effervescence and elegance have made it a symbol of celebration and accessible luxury.

Why Choose Gueuze for the Festive Season?

  • A Perfect Match for Festive Dishes: Its acidity and fruity notes (apple, citrus, apricot) pair beautifully with oysters, mature cheeses, seafood and even foie gras.
  • An Experience to Share: Served in a champagne glass, it surprises and delights guests with its complexity and freshness.
  • An Original Gift: Giving a bottle of artisanal gueuze is like sharing a piece of Belgian history and a moment of pure pleasure.

Give your loved ones a unique tasting experience! 

Because the holidays are also about the art of sharing excellence!
