Belgian beers got a divine "OK" on Brewer's Day.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (WTHR) - Belgian beers got a divine "OK" on Brewer's Day.

Belgian brewers dressed in medieval costumes took a barrel of beer to Brussels' cathedral Friday for consecration. It was part of an annual celebration of their patron Saint Arnould, who is said to have blessed a local brewery whose beer cured local people from plague.

The group, known as the Knighthood of the Brewer's Paddle" walked to music through the historic Grand Palace to the cathedral for the ceremony. Inside the cathedral, a wooden cask of beer was blessed by a priest.
