Belgium comes to Cooperstown, or "BCTC," is our annual summer beer fest celebrating (and sampling) the best in Belgian and Belgian-style beers. Since its inaugural in 2004, BCTC has grown from a modest gathering to a full-fledged festival with weekend camping; staged live music; a 500 person VIP dinner; cooking competitions and showcases; receptions and lectures. Over 50 breweries from around the world participate with more than 2,500 guests attending.

The theme of BCTC has added a playful background to the event and provided guests the added fun of identifying all of the little jokes and accents integrated into the event.
