Nuit Belge debuted in Nashville in the Spring of 2015 and after a very successful launch in their home city the event will go on the road in 2016, Atlanta will be the first stop on the tour. The Foundry at Puritan Mill will host the event on January 23rd at 7:00 PM. With a focus on pairing Belgian and Belgian-style ales with gourmet food Nuit Belge is targeting a more upscale event than your typical beer fest. Restaurant participants in Atlanta include local favorites such as Bhojanic, Empire State South, Heirloom Market BBQ, Holeman & Finch, Iberian Pig, and many others. Each restaurant will provide dishes to complement a beer pairing from breweries such as Georgia’s Creature Comforts and Three Taverns as well as offerings from Blackberry Farm, DuPont, Oud Beersel, Straffe Hendrik, Boon, Rodenbach, St. Bernardus, and more. You can see a full list of participating restaurants and breweries here.

Here’s a sample of some of the pairings:
