What you’ll do

Get ready to sip your way through the beer capital of the world with an insider's edge! This Brussels beer experience, led by a local host who knows the ins and outs of the city's brews, will take you on a delightful and refreshing journey through some of the finest beer spots Brussels has to offer. I love just chilling and drinking a beer at these places, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well. So let's go!

Your first stop is the magnificent Grand Palace, the very heart of Brussels. Here, you'll be introduced to the city's rich beer heritage in the most stunning setting imaginable. The Grand Palace isn't just about breathtaking architecture; it's also where your host will begin to unravel the history of Belgian beer, setting the stage for the flavorful adventure ahead. You'll discover why Belgian beer is world-renowned and maybe even hear some intriguing tales about the brewing traditions that date back centuries.

Next, make your way to the legendary Delirium Café. This is not just a bar; it's a beer lover's paradise. With over 2,000 beers on the menu, Delirium Café holds the Guinness World Record for the most varieties of beer commercially available. Here, your host will help you navigate this overwhelming yet thrilling selection. Whether you're into light lagers, rich stouts, or fruity lambics (which are personally my favorite), there's something here for every palate. Expect to be regaled with stories of local brews and brewing techniques while you sip on some of the finest examples Belgium has to offer. And don't be shy about asking for recommendations—your host has a knack for finding the perfect brew for every taste.

Your final destination is Beer Capital Brussels, a modern beer haven located on Boulevard Anspach. This spot is a perfect blend of contemporary vibes and classic brews. As you step in, you'll be greeted by an impressive selection of craft beers from both local microbreweries and established Belgian brands. Your host will guide you through a curated tasting session, highlighting the unique flavors and brewing processes that make Belgian beers so special. This is the place to deepen your appreciation of the craftsmanship behind each pint. And if you're up for it, you can even try some exclusive, limited-edition brews that you won't find anywhere else - I love finding new favorites every time I'm here.

Throughout the experience, your host will pepper in fascinating anecdotes and insider knowledge, making this more than just a casual bar hop. You'll walk away with a newfound appreciation for Belgian beer, armed with stories and tasting notes to impress your friends back home. 

Oh, and if you book this experience on a weekend, there’s a bonus of an additional 3 stops, time permitting. These stops include some of my favorite places to enjoy a pint when in Brussels: Poechenellekelder; BBP Port Sud and Brasserie da la Senne,  

So, ready to toast to a day of beer exploration in Brussels? Grab your taste buds and dive into an unforgettable experience that promises to be as enlightening as it is delicious. And remember to tell me how it went. Cheers!

What travelers think of our Iconic Sights & Hidden Gems experiences in Europe

June 2025

Patrick’s knowledge and communication skills were excellent. He pointed out some interesting places and items which would have been missed with either a group tour or a less engaged guide. His use of language was very good and we felt comfortable with our guide and our tour.

Mary Beth May 2025

Sebastian was an excellent host and guide. We learned a great deal about Brussels and what it is like for a young adult to live in this incredibly diverse city. My husband was not feeling well, so Sebastian adjusted his tour to our needs and that was especially appreciated.

Ernie Apr 2025

Sebastian was an excellent tour guide! He showed us the best spots in Brussels and gave fantastic recommendations for places to eat, as well as where to find unique beers and chocolate. We learned so much during the tour. He was also incredibly patient with our 5- and 8-year-old kids, who asked tons of questions. Thanks, Sebastian, for a wonderful experience!

Andrew May 2023

Andrea was very knowledgeable and gave us a detailed overview of the history of Belgium and Brussels. We visited all of the major sites and stopped for a quick lunch near the EU parliament. The tour focused heavily on EU politics which might not be for everyone.
