PRE-TASTING & MEET THE FOREIGN LEGION

Sunday 25th of October · Kompaan Binnenhaven · Only 60 seats

The cans have faces.

On 25 October, those faces will be in the room.

One day before the official release, we’re bringing the complete Foreign Legion 2026 collection together at Kompaan Binnenhaven. Six new beers. Six food pairings. Six illustrated alter egos—and the real people behind every one of them.

This is your first chance to taste the complete 2026 line-up during an exclusive Pre-Tasting for only 60 guests.

Six beers. Six food pairings.

Every beer will be served with its own specially created food pairing. And we’re putting two actual members of the Foreign Legion in charge of the kitchen.

Searing Sultan and Island Inferno themselves—Yassin and Luis—will prepare the pairings for the entire line-up.

Bourbon, port, caramel, Amarone, Jamaican rum, maple syrup and cinnamon: each dish is designed to uncover another layer of the beer beside it.

Meet the brewers. Meet the artists. Meet the Foreign Legion.

The brewers will be there to talk about the recipes, barrels, maturation and questionable decisions behind the beers.

The artists behind the new visual world will explain its illustrations, colours, textures and deliberately imperfect layers.

And every Kompaan featured on this year’s cans will be there too:

Quint. Marianne. Yassin. Sander. Luis. Koen.

Not just the illustrated alter egos. The actual people—although they are at least as strange.

Take the can art home

For the first time, physical art prints of all six can illustrations will be available to buy during the Pre-Tasting.

See the artwork up close, meet the people who created it and take your favourite Foreign Legion home. This time without having to open it first.
