Why do a beer tour in Antwerp?

Antwerp's beer scene is lively and keeps evolving. Heritage brews sit next to new styles such as ultra-hoppy beers and strong stouts, with alcohol levels from a moderate 4 percent up to 12 percent. Finding the right places on your own is hard, and a guide shortens that search to a few hours.

This tour also adds something most beer tastings do not: geneva gin, served ice cold, which is part of Antwerp's drinking culture. It is a good way to see the city differently from the usual shopping and museum route.

  • love beer and want to taste local styles with a guide
