What you'll see & do
- ✓Stop 1 - You'll be taken to a lively brewery: Time for a good Blonde Belgian style beer to start with. Your guide will explain the brewing process, providing a sense of where certain flavors and aromas come from. Believe us: an ultimate “AHA-experience” arises when you find out where the bitter, sour or sweet flavor originates from. Every stop has a combination of local delicacies paired with the beers, resulting in mind blowing and delicious food combos that you would have never imagined. So yes, let’s combine local beer with our world-famous Belgian chocolates.
- ✓More Than a Beer Tour While walking between stops, we explore Ghent itself. Discover remarkable places you likely wouldn’t find on your own, hear local stories along the way, and pause to snap group photos by Ghent’s iconic river — a perfect memory of your experience.
- ✓Stop 2 - we visit a centuries-old bar run by a legendary local figure. Here you’ll taste traditional Ghent jenever, the spirit that predates gin and played a major role in local café culture. Learn why it was once safer than water and how it fits into everyday Ghent life — a short but unforgettable cultural stop.
- ✓Stop 3 – The 300+ Beer Bar Time for a beer lover’s paradise: a legendary bar with over 300 Belgian beers. You’ll be surprised with two special local beer styles that most visitors (and even locals!) never try without guidance. Each beer is paired with chocolate or another surprising local sweet, while your guide shares stories from the coppern cool ship to a local legend of the Ghentian dragon.
- ✓Stop 4 – Grandma’s Living Room & Trappist Secrets We step into a cosy hidden bar that feels like your grandmother’s living room. Here, you’ll compare a young and a vintage Trappist beer side by side. Discover how beer ages, why Trappist beers are so special, and uncover the surprising secrets behind monastery brewing. This tasting often changes how guests think about beer forever.
- ✓Stop 5 – The Hidden Gem Finale We finish in a warm, tucked-away local bar — a true hidden gem. Enjoy a full-bodied Belgian Tripel, rich and comforting, paired with a local sweet delicacy. The perfect ending to the tour, with the most fun beer quiz ever , beer recommendations, and local advice for Ghent, Brussels, and Bruges.
