Brouwer's Cafe joins countless other food and beverage business to support Orval Day, March 20th.

Press Release

Event: Orval Day 2021

Date: Saturday, March 20, 2021

Summary: Brouwer’s will be hosting Orval Day, a celebration of the first Brett Beer widely available in the US, and one of our favorites.

Wait, didn’t we just do this? Well yes, but also, no. Back in October several fine establishments and patrons at home raised a glass and celebrated one of the finest Trappist beers in the world. It was a make-up Orval Day, kind of like a snow day, except this snow was a global pandemic and the day has now been a year.

As the world slowly crawls out of the fog, the fine people at Merchant du Vin, the importers of Orval, wanted to get Orval Day back to rightful place in March. Brouwer’s Café, the fine people who love Orval, don’t want to miss an opportunity to get an Orval into the hands of the 25% masses.

While we wish the days were still here that we were opening up cases of Orval, filling the big glass, and passing it all around, we still think it is a day worth celebrating. Whether you come in and see us that day or add an Orval to your to-go order, everyone can safely celebrate this wonderful brew together, separately.

Did we mention it is for a great cause? Each year Merchant du Vin makes a donation to charity based on US sales of Orval on Orval Day. This year, their charitable contribution will go to regional US hunger-relief organizations Houston Food Bank and our very own Northwest Harvest. Charitable donations AND an Orval?! Sounds like a pretty good Saturday to us. Cheers!
