Do we have an update on Brussels, the fest etc... I have tickets to Brussels and the fest, but am at 50/50 on traveling depending on if all is good. A friend of mine in Brussels tells me that all is quiet on the Brussels front, ie things are seemingly back to normal?

Message sebletitje beers 11868 º places 491 º 12:43 Wed 11/25/2015 At this point, the metro (line6) going to the festival is closed. They will review the security level on Friday to see if they will reopen it or not. Alternative being to take Tram 51 to the stadium, about 40min during the wknd.
Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 917 º 12:44 Wed 11/25/2015 All taken measures are being reversed at the current moment, things are close to normal. All should be fine by Saturday. Worst case you will die drinking lambiek.
Message 77ships P beers 14200 º places 917 º 12:48 Wed 11/25/2015 Official statement from the website: Despite the security level 4 maintained in Brussels, the politicians and officials in charge of the city whom we contacted this morning are clearly in favor of returning back to the regular commercial and cultural life. Our direct contacts with the competent authorities encourage us to go on with the organization of the event, the structure and the location of it. We are therefore confirming that Vini, Birre, Ribelli will take place this weekend. Meanwhile, we will work on the reinforcement of the security measures. To ensure safety, obtain the approval of the authorities and enable the necessary checks, WE INSIST that the participants buy their tickets online on the Shop page of this website. Please note that without personal admission tickets, we might not be able to accommodate you. This also applies to all professionals, volunteers and wine shop owners who want to participate at the event. Only passes for winemakers and brewers exhibitors are managed by the organizers.
