Bruges Craft Beer Experience: Small-Group Brewery & Tasting Tour

Descend into the cellars of one of Bruges' working breweries for an expert-led tasting of rare Belgian ales — including the city's celebrated Zot — paired with artisan bar snacks in a medieval setting.

What to expect

The 45-minute guided tour descends through the copper brew kettles and fermentation caves, with your guide explaining centuries of Bruges brewing tradition and the audacious 3.2 km underground beer pipeline, completed in 2016. The tour culminates on the rooftop terrace with a glass of Bruges Zot blond or dubbel, and sweeping 360° views over the city's spires and canals. A curated tasting of seasonal and reserve ales can be arranged for private groups. The brewery is a short stroll from the Begijnhof.
