No, it's not Independence Day! Let's go to the party and enjoy great Belgian beers, but let's also demand a more historically accurate poster for next year's party |
So while almost any any time is the right time for Belgian ale, I was disappointed to see the poster above advertising a local restaurant chain's celebration. The All-Belgian lineup is great, but the call to celebrate "Belgian Independence" is disappointing.
Here are some links to previous PhilosFX posts which contain more information about Nationale Feestdag Belgique, or Belgian National Day.

"Dear Pizzeria Paradiso (Old Town): July 21st is Belgian National Day, NOT Belgian Independence Day as your poster implies. Love your All-Belgian draft lineup and will continue to love all three Paradiso locations, but would appreciate some attention to the historical facts in future posters. Belgium had gained independence from the Netherlands a year before their constitutional monarchy was adopted on this day in 1831."
