Here’s an overview of your tour

While tasting our beers in 3 different bars, we'll explain you about the history, the evolution and the brewing process: from the origins back in the antiquity and the expansion through Europe during the Middle Ages.

We'll talk about our famous Abbey beers and conclude with a discussion about the recent microbreweries. You’ll taste Trappist beers, which are still brewed by monks. The Valley of the Senne, where Brussels is located, has still a spontaneous fermented beer, the Lambic. Then we will serve you a typical strong blond beer, before we end with a Belgian IPA.

During the experience, we will teach you how to taste beer using your senses and after this, you will never drink a beer the same way. Learn and enjoy the diversity of the Belgian beers with a passionate beer lover like Christophe. Cheers!
