Overview

This isn’t your average pub crawl—it’s a curated beer experience through Brussels, led by a local host who not only knows the city’s brewing heritage but also shares access to hidden favorites most travelers never find. Whether you prefer monk-brewed Trappist ales, craft microbreweries, or historic taverns, your host will tailor the day to suit your taste.

From beloved institutions to off-the-radar gems, your host will guide you on a flavorful and culturally rich journey through Brussels’ beer scene.

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to help us understand your preferences. Based on your responses, we’ll pair you with a like-minded host who will design a flexible route that can evolve with your pace and palate. Because when it comes to great beer, a little spontaneity always pairs well.
