The Muddy Pig’s 5th annual Belgian Beer Festival starts today and runs through Sunday.  Owner Mark Van Wie tells us that they’ll have 96 beers this year and all are direct from Belgium, not Belgian-style American beers.  This has to be the largest collection off draft Belgian beers ever in the state, if not the midwest.  All beers are sold in 5oz glasses so you can try them all.  Pig and Fiddle will be running a small version off the Fest with 20 or so beers.  Check it out!
