Step inside Bruges' last family-owned city brewery — still producing the legendary Brugse Zot — for a behind-the-scenes tour of copper kettles, secret cellars, and a rooftop tasting session with unfiltered beer poured straight from the tank.
What to expect
A passionate brewery guide walks you through five centuries of Flemish brewing heritage, from the original malt room to the gleaming modern tanks connected to the city by a 3.2 km underground beer pipeline. The rooftop terrace delivers one of the finest elevated views in Bruges — glass of Brugse Zot in hand — over the Begijnhof and surrounding medieval skyline. The tasting concludes in the storied brewery bar, where you can order the full range alongside a platter of local cheeses.
