This experience is about tasting the many varieties of Belgian beers and trying to figure out what your favorite Belgian beers of beer styles are. As a beer sommelier, I will try and guide you through that process by giving you some personal recommendations for beer to try during the tour and afterwards...

All tasted beers come in small glasses, so the focus is the taste and flavor and not the quantity of the beer. In total, you will taste 8 or 9 different beers, served in small tasting glasses. There might be 1 bigger beer included in one of the pubs, subject to availability and opening times of the bars.

We meet in front of the Bourgogne des Flandres brewery where you are welcomed and given your bag with your personal tasting glass inside. First, in the taproom of the brewery, you get to blend your own Bourgogne des Flandres beer from the two base beers used in the blend and compare it to the actual BdF. During this session, you will also discover how well beer and chocolate go together as we will be tasting some Belgian pralines with the beers. From there we take a short walk to the beer museum. Whilst tasting some beers, I will tell you more about the different beers and beer styles tasted. After that, we pay a visit to a nearby beer pub where I will try to serve you a beer, acoording to your taste. During the tour, I will tell you lots about what makes the Belgian beer scene so unique.

Other things to note:
This is a tasting tour involving alcohol and chocolates. Therefore the tour is not suitable for anyone under the age of 16 (legal drinking age in Belgium) nor for anyone who cannot consume alcohol/chocolate for medical or other reasons. Please inform me if you have any allergies or intolerances. Children and teenagers under 16 years old are not permitted on the tour.
