BELGIAN BEER TRAILS

Brewery tourism is increasingly popular. You can visit most of the main breweries in Belgium, enjoy a tour with a professional guide and taste the beers afterwards. But you can also combine a brewery visit with a journey of discovery in the city or the surrounding area. You will be amazed by the huge variety in breweries and beer styles, cities and regions.

Belgium is blessed with a unique beer culture, now recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This culture is alive in the glass, in the bottle, at the bar in your local café, in any bistro, brasserie, tavern or restaurant, in advertising or just in the street... Breweries and beer have made their mark all over Belgium.

This guide offers you a useful compass to navigate the Beer Country of Belgium. We travel from Arlon to Ostend. The breweries are categorised by region and, wherever possible, linked to (nearby) cities. We provide a short history of the brewery, an overview of the range and practical information and give our tips for what to see and do in various cities.
