  The Bridge Theatre proudly presents...

  tICK, TICK...BOOM!

  14 October  – 2 November, 20:00

   Stassart House - Rue de Stassart 34, Brussels

  
  

  We are thrilled to announce that ACB members get a 10% discount to the Brigde Theatre's latest theatrical production: tick, tick...BOOM! A musical by Jonathan Larson, the creator of Rent, directed and choreographed by Ewan Jones. 

  Jon, an aspiring composer, is nearing 30 and feeling the pressure. While waiting tables, he struggles to finish the musical he hopes will change everything. But time is ticking — his girlfriend wants to leave the city, his best friend has chosen a corporate path, and Jon is torn between security and a dream that may never come true. Fueled by a driving rock score, this semi-autobiographical story pulses with passion, doubt, and possibility.

  This renowned musical which received a movie adaptation by Netflix a couple of years ago is now coming to Belgium for the first time ever by The Bridge Theatre.
  
  Starring Djavan van de Fliert (Frozen, Les Misérables – West End), Dan Buckley (The Book of Mormon – West End), and Laura Marie Benson (Madagascar The Musical – UK & International Tour).

  Come to a Play and Stay for a Talk
  Join us after selected performances for special Post-Show Talks with inspiring guest speakers. We’ll dive into the play’s central theme — The Price of Ambition — and reflect on how it resonates with our own lives today. Pick up a drink at the bar and settle back in for a relaxed 30–45 minute conversation you won’t want to miss.

  Come dressed in your Halloween best, bring your trick-or-treat bags, and get ready for an evening of fun, laughter, and just the right amount of spooky.  Snacks and drinks will be waiting back at the barn to keep little witches and wizards cozy after the adventure.   (Don't forget to wear study shoes for the walk and bring a flashlight too!) 

    

  The event takes place at a ranch in Huldenberg which is 25 minutes from the center of Brussels and Waterloo (plenty of parking).  The cost for the event includes the trick or treat candy, snacks, soft drinks, juices and the spooky walk for kids and 1 drink each for mom and dad - and the spooky walk too if they wish!:

  What you will learn during this workshop:

  • What is sake: how is it made, treated, and aged?
  • Categorization
  • Production process
  • How to store sake
  • How to interpret and describe taste, smell, and appearance

  Experience a unique tasting of 6 sakes with small amuse-bouches made by The Nine Bar & Restaurant.  You will taste around 6 sakes of 6cl each, with an average alcohol content of 14–16%. Please make sure to have eaten something before the tasting.

There will be an earlybird wine for those who arrive on time, and a tsipouro at the end!

  As usual, all the wines will be paired with plenty of good Greek food.

  The wines will be presented by Petros Fotopoulos, the agronomist and oenologist who has shared his passion and knowledge about wine at several previous Greek wine tastings.
  

  Unlike other wine tastings organised by Terre Mieli Cieli, which focuses on countries or regions, this wine tasting will explore one of the essential ingredients in the evolution of great wines: time.

  Blind wine tasting: 8th Annual Battle of Bubbles

  Thursday, December 11 · 7:30 - 10:30pm

  Le Comptoir Rodin, Avenue Auguste Rodin 8 1050 Ixelles
  

  
  

  Back by popular demand! Join our partner Brandon from Terre Mieli Cieli for his 8th annual "Battle of the Bubbles" pairing off four good Champagnes against a few great Bubbles-That-Must-Not-Be-Called-Champagnes from the rest of the world.

  This blind tasting will feature eight sparkling wines, most made in the same traditional method as Champagne, but from a few places you might not expect to make great sparkling wines. To keep things fair and fun, Brandon will cover the labels up-front and ask you to rate each as we go and then and only then will I unveil each wine after you've tasted it.  Who do you think will win this year? Champagne or Rest of World?

  An earlybird wine will reward those who come and help us start on time. ;-)
  

  As usual, the wine will be paired with plenty of good food.  

  The tasting, with a full dinner costs 75 euros for members. Participation is limited to the first 30 people who sign up.

  Registration and Cancellations are possible until noon on 8 December, 2025. Participants cancelling after this time, as well as no-shows, are charged the full cost of the event.

  ACB FINAL FRIDAY COCKTAIL

  April 24, 18:30 - 21:30    

  Corinthia Brussels - Under the Stairs Bar

  Rue Royale 103, Brussels

  
  

  Join the American Club of Brussels for our monthly Friday drinks at the beautiful Corinthia Brussels on April 24, 2026.  

  The Corinthia Brussels, formerly the Grand Hotel Astoria on Rue Royale, has been fully transformed into a luxurious Belle Époque-style hotel. Blending historic charm with modern elegance, it partners with local talent to offer elevated bar and dining experiences, positioning itself as a premier destination for both locals and global visitors.

  We had such a lovely Final Final in a private room at the Corinthia in April, that we are now heading back for our September Final Friday to experience their newly opened, chic bar - Under the Stairs - which also has an outside courtyard that we can enjoy if the weather is good. 

  For those who are new to the ACB and our Friday drinks, each month we meet at a location around Brussels for our monthly get-together. This is a great opportunity to mingle and socialize with new and old friends in Brussels in a fun and relaxing environment. So, bring your friends, all are welcome!
