About this experience
Belgium doesn't just make beer — it has perfected it. With over 1,000 varieties and a brewing culture recognised by UNESCO as part of humanity's intangible heritage, this is a country where beer is treated with the seriousness other nations reserve for wine. In 2.5 hours, this tour takes you beneath the surface of that culture. You won't simply drink — you'll understand what you're tasting: how monks came to brew some of the world's most revered ales, why Belgian beer is so remarkably strong, and what makes styles like Trappist and Lambic utterly unique to this corner of Europe. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you'll settle into two of the city's finest and most characterful bars, glass in hand and story to match. By the end you'll know exactly what you love — and where in Brussels to find more of it. Curious, convivial and genuinely eye-opening, it's the perfect introduction to the world's greatest beer nation.

What you'll see and do
We begin at Scotts Bar, a place that opened in 2012 with a clear ambition: to bring traditional Belgian beer culture together with a thoroughly modern outlook. The result is one of the most exciting beer lists in the city, running all the way from the most authentic abbey styles to groundbreaking craft brews from local makers. If you'd like something to line the stomach, they serve food too — the pizzas are not to be missed. Here your guide introduces you to a world-famous Trappist ale, and tells the story behind it — one of war, charity, service and, of course, of brewing some of the finest beers on earth. You'll learn how the monks came to brew, why their beers are held in such high regard, and what still sets a true Trappist apart today. It's the perfect first stop: a glass in hand, a great story to go with it, and a taste of just how deep Belgium's brewing traditions run.

Royal Theatre Toone
A short walk brings us to the Toone Theatre, tucked away down one of the old city's narrow lanes. This UNESCO-protected building is treasured for its cultural importance — it keeps alive the Brussels folklore tradition of marionette theatre — and its bar is among the oldest and most characterful in the entire city. Settling in here, you'll enjoy a sample selection of three beers, chosen expertly by your guide to show the range and depth of Belgian brewing. Between tastings, your guide shares more of the stories behind the glass: how these beers are made, what makes Belgian beer so distinctive, and the question every visitor asks sooner or later — why is it all so strong? Atmospheric, historic and steeped in local character, Toone is exactly the kind of place you'd never find on your own — and the ideal setting to deepen your appreciation of the craft.
50 minutes here
We finish at the legendary Delirium Café — holder of the Guinness World Record for the largest selection of beers on the planet. This is the moment to put everything you've learned to use: having discovered what you enjoy over the course of the tour, you're set loose on the widest choice of beers anywhere in the world. The Delirium village is a warren of seven bars, each with its own drinks theme, so there's something to suit every taste — and it stays open into the early hours. Your guide can point you toward styles you might love before saying their goodbyes. This final stop is an optional end to the night, there to enjoy at your own pace should you wish to keep exploring.

You should go this tour to understand Belgium beer
Just came back from the Belgium Beer tasting tour on August 22 and thought I’d write before I forgot the specifics. Well worth the cost for the tour as Tom gives an excellent history and funny narrative of the history of Belgium beer. I’ve been on a lot of walking tours and this is one of the better ones. Highly recommend this tour

More Than a Beer Tour
We joined Adelin’s beer tasting tour in Brussels in August 2025, and it was one of the best experiences of our entire trip. The selection of beers was outstanding, with something for every taste, but the gueuze was a particular highlight for me and remains one of my favourite beers I’ve ever tried. What made the evening special wasn’t just the beer itself, but the way Adelin brought brewing culture and history to life through his storytelling. Every stop came with fascinating anecdotes, local insights, and historical context that made the city feel richer and more memorable. Adelin has a real gift for hosting. He took the time to learn everyone’s names, remembered where people were from, and created an atmosphere where conversations flowed naturally. By the end of the evening, what started as a group of strangers felt more like a group of friends. We’ve done food and drink tours in several cities, and this was easily among the very best. Great beer, great stories, great company, and one of the most enjoyable nights of our holiday. If you’re visiting Brussels and want an authentic, fun, and social experience, I can’t recommend Adelin highly enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Hani, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're absolutely delighted to hear that the beer tasting tour became one of the highlights of your trip to Brussels. It's especially rewarding to know that the experience offered much more than great beer, allowing you to connect with the city's brewing traditions, history, and welcoming atmosphere. Your kind recommendation means the world to us, and we truly appreciate you choosing to spend part of your visit with SANDEMANs. We hope to welcome you on another tour during your future travels. Warm regards, Karla S. | SANDEMANs Tours

Why this scores 92
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brussels.
How much does Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brussels usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brussels is not rushed.
Is Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,307 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Brussels, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels?
+
Around 457 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brussels can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brussels and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Belgian Beer Tasting in Brussels start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brussels within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Brussels?
+
On Outty we rank every Brussels experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Brussels: Historical Walking Tour with Chocolate & Waffle Tasting, Hungry Mary's Famous Beer and Chocolate Tour in Brussels, Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Brussels?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brussels?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
