A. Alcohol and minors (-18)
Given that Belgian Beer Factory© offers mainly alcoholic beverages, you are obliged to be at least 18 years old before visiting our site and certainly before you can place an order. This age limit is recorded on the one hand by law and on the other hand by ourselves. So regardless of your local legislation, you must be at least 18 years old before you can order. Also if your local legislation allows alcoholic consumption under the age of 18.
Most authorities have created these strict rules to protect young people against the consequences of alcoholic beverages. And good too. Of course we fully respect these measures and we do everything to comply with it. If you are still not convinced, read the consequences below:
For minors (-18), the use of alcoholic beverages has additional adverse effects, since their body is still under development.
The younger one starts with drinking, the higher the chance that one can later have serious addiction symptoms of it.
Minors have more likely to run alcohol poisoning.
... and many more reasons why minors should not use alcohol.
If you are a minor, it is simply forbidden to continue than this page throughout our shop to 'brows'. This is therefore the reason why you must indicate that you are of age, when visiting our website. If you have confirmed this affirmative, it is also your own responsibility to visit our shop.
If you place an order with us, regardless of whether it is for yourself or for someone else, you automatically confirm that both you, and the receiver is of age. During the checkout process we will also ask for your date of birth. This will therefore determine whether or not you can order from us. This date of birth is also printed on the invoice (= transport document). When delivery of the package, the authorized carrier will ask for your date of birth as shown on the invoice. If your answer does not agree with what is on the invoice, the carrier will refuse the delivery. If necessary, the conveyor naturally has the option to request identification. If you reject this, the order will also not be delivered. We also, as a Belgian Beer Factory©, also have the right to ask identification at any time.

Note that shipping costs will also be added during the checkout process depending on the weight and destination. For more information about our shipping costs, please refer to the 'Shipping costs' page.
Since the customer is the importing party without EU orders, he / she is responsible for compliance according to local import legislation.

In addition, as a professional customer you can also create an account on our shop to see VAT free rates or wholesale prices. Depending on the country of destination, these prices include or excluding taxes. This will be indicated in both cases.

Once there is clarity, we can only proceed to refund or send a new package. Of course you will be kept well informed by us in such cases.
Beer bottles labels
Breweries regularly change the labels of their beers. As long as it goes over the same beer, we are not bound to deliver the same bottles as shown on product images.
