Kerst Fest 2026

Two days of beer, fire, BBQ & Christmas cheer!

On Saturday, December 19th and Sunday, December 20th, we’re transforming Kompaan Thuishaven & Brewery into a proper winter celebration! Think crackling fire pits, smoky BBQs, exceptional beers, mulled beer, music and plenty of Christmas cheer.

And this year, we’ve got something special to unveil: the launch of our brand-new Eisbock, the Foreign Legion Commander of 2026!

Two days, two different vibes! Saturday is all about beer, BBQ and music, while Sunday slows things down for our cozy Family Day.

And don’t let the Dutch winter weather scare you off. With our heated stretch tent and plenty of indoor space, there’s always somewhere warm and dry to enjoy the festivities!

🍺 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 – BEER, BBQ & MUSIC!

We’re going all out on Saturday! Our chefs will be firing up the grills, serving hearty winter BBQ dishes, from burgers and sandwiches to juicy ribs glazed with our very own Bloedbroeder BBQ sauce. Outside, the fire pits will be roaring, with marshmallows ready for roasting.

For the serious beer lovers, we’re opening a special Barrel Bar, pouring our barrel-aged creations and the Foreign Legion 2026 collection. We’ll also be hosting an exclusive barrel-aged beer tasting, with tickets available separately.

❄️ Meet the Foreign Legion Commander of 2026!

Every Foreign Legion needs a Commander, and this year, our brand-new Eisbock takes command!

Making its official debut at Kerstfest 2026, this special release is one you won’t want to miss. Be among the first to raise a glass to our newest Commander!

Need something to warm you up? We’ve got mulled beer, mulled wine, hot chocolate, hearty winter soups and freshly made Dutch mini pancakes (poffertjes). Our friends from Valentijn’s Distillery will also be joining us, serving their spirits and special beer cocktails.

🎶 And there’s plenty of music! Our DJ keeps things going all day. From 17:00 to 20:00, our vinyl DJ invites you to bring your own records, and at 20:00 it’s time to grab your headphones for the Silent Disco!

Come early! Everyone arriving between 14:00 and 16:00 gets a little Kompaan Christmas gift, including a beer glass, a can of beer and a coaster, all wrapped up nicely. While supplies last!

🎅 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20 – FAMILY DAY!

On Sunday, we’re slowing things down and bringing the whole family together. The loud music takes a break, making room for a relaxed afternoon of Christmas fun for all ages!

While the little ones decorate their own Christmas ornaments and get creative in our craft corners, the grown-ups can kick back with a good beer. There’ll be plenty of board games to play together, along with hot chocolate and freshly made poffertjes!

And if you’re still looking for last-minute Christmas presents, we’ll be wrapping beer gifts at our stand on Sunday too.

Bring the kids, grandparents, friends and neighbours. Everyone’s welcome at Kerstfest!
