Frequently Asked Questions

Which city does the tour run in?

Whichever of the four you prefer: Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels or Ghent. Each has its own brewing story, so the beers and the bars change with the city. Tell us which one you are staying in and your guide will meet you there.

How long is the tour?

Four hours, at a relaxed pace. It is a walking tour between bars rather than a march, with plenty of time to sit down with each beer.

What is included in the price?

A local private guide and six Belgian beers to taste. Food and any further drinks are not included.

Which beers will we try?

Six, chosen to show the range of Belgian brewing: easy-drinking blondes, rich Trappists and local specialities you are unlikely to find at home. Your guide picks them to suit the city and the season.

Do I need to know anything about beer?

Not at all. The tour works just as well for a curious first-timer as for someone who already has opinions about lambics. By the end you will be able to read a Belgian beer menu without guessing.

Is food included?

No, but your guide will know exactly where to stop for something to eat, and Belgian bar food goes rather well with the tasting.

Is there an option without alcohol?

Yes. Belgium takes its alcohol-free brewing seriously and there are good options in most bars, so tell us in advance and your guide will plan around it.

Can we combine this with a city tour?

Yes, and many people do. A full day walking the historic centre followed by the beer tour in the evening makes a very good day out. Just ask when you enquire and we will put the two together.
