Why even advertise with "beer" when the link just takes you to a page saying there will be no beer?

There's still plenty of different beers available at the bar in FOSDEM itself.

There's no longer an official beer event. Lots of alternative beer events and social popped up on Friday evening.

On Saturday evening there's quite some community dinners and also a nice party at the hackerspace HSBXL.

It's probably not online yet but the event is called bytenight.

It says ‘ There is no official FOSDEM beer event’. So no official event specifically for beer. I can assure you there will be lots of Belgium beer available.

The point stands. The term "beer" was placed there back when there still was an official event at Delirium. I had no clue there no longer is such an event. Bummer.

Pretty sure Delirium and the street will be packed as much as previous years…

Perhaps if there's no official event it will actually be possible to get a beer there!

That would be a first time since 2001.

Can you share the link to the page where they say "no beer"?
