American Club of Antwerp

American Club of Antwerp We are a club for American residents and travelers in Belgium and non-Americans with definite America

We are a relatively small group that meets monthly for a casual seated dinner and easy-going conversation – normally the month’s third or fourth Friday evening, except in August and December. We are small enough that everyone can join in lively impromptu conversation and get to know one another. Traditional special club activities that specifically include spouses or partners are a Memorial Day luncheon near one of the three U.S. military cemeteries in Belgium and an end-of-summer barbecue. We often join with other expat clubs to celebrate major American holidays at Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Fourth of July. We also organize occasional special outings, to which we invite members of other expat clubs, such as a tour of the Flanders Field battleground, a visit to a medieval hospital convent, or a dinner cruise of Antwerp’s harbor. Although we have dined and conversed together for many years and we are fond of our traditions and one another, we are very welcoming to newcomers, American or otherwise, men and women, and are eager to share our friendships and activities. The only condition for potential new members is having an interest in the U.S. and expat life in Belgium, and an English fluency sufficient to permit comfortable participation in our dinner conversations and other activities.

Our friends at the American Groceries Store here in Belgium wanted to send a message to all who are interested:

I wanted to let you know of a new online American groceries store. American Groceries Belgium offers the American food expats crave! We offer €8.99 delivery and click/collect in Belgium; and we ship for €12.99 to Luxembourg, Germany, and the Netherlands. We've got regular mail customers in Antwerp and its suburbs too!

I’m American and my husband is English. We started American Groceries Belgium in November 2020 we’re growing! Our growth has helped us become a sponsor in our community with the American Women’s Club of Brussels, The American Club of Brussels, and the family oriented Brussels Tigers - an American football club serving toddlers to adults.

Please check out our website and store to learn more! You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram. Let us know if there’s something you miss, and we’ll be happy to look for it. Have a good day!

Hi Everyone and American Club members and friends!

We have a very exciting event for everyone this month as we will be holding a virtual beer tasting! The beer tasting will be led by Erwin Liekens from Tastethecity.be. He normally performs beer tours around Antwerp, but due to the current measures he has been holding onling beer tastings instead.

For our tasting, we have selected a Trappist theme. The trappist beers included in the tasting will be:

Westmalle tripel
Rochefort 8
Blue label Chimay
Orval
Rochefort Tripel (optional selection - it's a brand new beer that's only been on the market for a few months)
For this event, you can select one of two payment options:

Option 1: 17 euros - We will prepare and deliver a special beer package to you. This will include the first four beers on the above list.

Option 2: 10 euros - No beer package, so you will then purchase the beers yourself (these are normally available at most grocery stores). This amount is to cover the cost of our speaker.

You can indicate which option when you respond. Payments can be made to the American Club Antwerp bank account: BE94 7755 9770 3614. Please mention "virtual beer tasting" in the memo field.

Zoom link will be shared before Saturday, March 27 at 7:00pm. We hope to see each of you there!

Kevin, Jim, Vinny, & Jason

Sent a direct mail to americanclubofantwerp@gmail.com with name and info on your choice if interested!

Hope to see you all virtually!

Hi everyone! We hope that each of you had a great holiday and happy new year! Recent events aside, we hope the rest of the new year brings much love and happiness to you and your family!

We would like to invite you to a virtual gift exchange (yankee swap / white elephant - however you want to call it). The idea is that you find something around your house (or you can buy something inexpensive - 10 euros or less), wrap it up and take a picture of the wrapped present. During the call, you will unwrap the present when it is selected. The detailed rules will be explained on the call, but please send the picture of your present to our ACA email address (americanclubofantwerp@gmail.com) so that we can match the presents to each person during the call.

This will take place on January 22 at 8:30pm. We hope to see each of you there! Please send an message to the email above for links and formal invite if you would like to join!

Despite all the rules and regulations we are all dealing with in 2020, the American Club of Antwerp still had a fun virtual Thanksgiving celebration that was full of toasts, stories of the first thanksgiving, lots of trivia, calls from club members all over including direct from the US, laughter and tons of happy faces. So we can all be thankful for the family and friends from all across the globe and of course our health! Cheers to that! 🥂 it was a great night! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃 🍷
