About this experience

We stroll through the old town and visit historic pubs. It is also possible to start in a taproom of a brewery (Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie). Belgian beer is of obvious interest, but there are other local drinks to discover. Are you ready to explore?
What is the secret to the brewing of such a good beer? And various styles: hoppy, sour and fruity, and mildly sweet. It's an unexpected conclusion. Listen, walk and taste.

To stimulate your curiosity, the following are a few peculiar but facts.
Thanks to the French Revolution, we can enjoy Trappist beer from Westmalle!
Thanks to the losers of the local elections, Belgium has a wide range of high-quality beers!

In each pub, we try something different. Advice will be given by the guide and pub owner in each case. But the choice is yours!
Please note that at each pub visit, the customer (group or individual) treats the guide to a drink.
