The award-winning Brussels caf\u00e9 zine Pintjes is back for its fourth edition, with a pre-match launch event and panel chat tomorrow (Sunday, 24th May).<\/p>\n

\"Pintjes<\/a><\/p>\n

With the Belgian season reaching its climax this weekend with the Brussels derby, and Royal Union Saint-Gilloise having recently confirmed their position as the city\u2019s premier club, with their win in the 2026 Croky Cup, PIntjes is going all-in on the beautiful game for its latest edition.<\/p>\n

Or, more specifically, it is celebrating the supporters\u2019 caf\u00e9s and restaurants in Forest\u2019s Wiels quarter, the places in the streets around Parc Duden and Union\u2019s hallowed Stade Marien which are, more often than not, decked in blue and yellow and which come alive on match days.<\/p>\n

Pintjes is a zine developed and published by two long-term Brussels residents: Eoghan Walsh, writer of the Brussels Notes newsletter<\/a> and founder of Brussels Beer City<\/a>; and Selkies<\/a>, an illustrator from Dublin now living in Brussels, who has worked with football clubs, music festivals, and musicians.<\/p>\n

To launch the zine \u2014 the fourth in a series celebrating Brussels\u2019 unique caf\u00e9 culture \u2014 Pintjes is organising a pre-match warm-up ahead of the Union-Anderlecht match at the Dekkera bar, with a lively chat with die-hard Unionistes and experienced caf\u00e9 cruisers.<\/p>\n

Joining the publishers will be: Elisabeth Debourse, editor-in-chief of Le Fooding Magazine; Gunnar Cheyns, radio presenter at Bruzz; and Sylvain Lecomte, owner of Dekkera.
