Belgian National Day
Beer Events by FOAMDOME
July 21st is Belgian National Day, commemorating the day in 1831 that Leopold of Saxe-Coburg swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution and became the first King of the new country. July 21st is not Belgian Independence Day and don't let anyone fool you. Belgians had won their independence from the Netherlands in 1830, so July 21st of following year marks the day the constitutional monarchy was formally adopted and the new Nation of Belgium was born. Anyone planning to celebrate this auspicious occasion?
- Attending a re-enactment of the swearing-in and coronation at the Sint Jacobs Church on the Coudenberg in Central Brussels, perhaps?
- Or maybe dining out on moules and frittes at a local restaurant?
- How about swigging some Belgian brews at home?

Am I the only one that checked out lil miss Belgium with the three different hair colors by covering each part to see if she was hotter blonde, red, or black? Just curious. All three, or the mix, work well for her. I don't know what i have from Belgium to drink tonight...
