15 Beer Tastings Worth Packing a Bag For

297 tours  ·  from $7 a head

A tasting buys you a flight and someone who can explain it, which is a better hour than most brewery tours manage. These 15 range from six Belgian styles in a cellar to four Czech lagers straight off the tank, priced by what lands in front of you.

Düsseldorf: Brewery Tour with Alt Beer Tastings

“Our guide Chris from Colombia was excellent. Her knowledge of German Altbeer, production processes and flavor profiles was pivotal for us to learn more about local culture and history of beer. She also can speak a perfect German which is helpful during the tour as most of the menus, posters and traditional signages in pubs are in German. Overall the experience was fantastic, we had nice chats and shared life experiences. It felt as going out for beer with a local friend. Highly recommended. Thank you ! 🙏”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 960 reviews · 1h 30m · from $55

In Bruges, an English-speaking host such as Stefan, Michelle, or Brecht guides you through three Belgian beer tastings, then helps you make waffle batter with your chosen beer.

“The recipe was easy to follow. They use a local beer in the recipe but any other can be used to replace if you are making it at home later. The place was clean and organized. Francis (hope that’s how to write his name) was a very entertaining guide. The beer tasting selection was great.”

Brussels: The Belgian Beer World Experience & Beer Tasting

14.The Belgian Beer World Experience & Beer Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 530 reviews · from $22

At Belgian Beer World in Brussels’ former Stock Exchange, you’ll follow an interactive route through Belgian brewing, sample two beers, and finish with one full beer from a choice of 150 at the rooftop Skybar. Allow about two hours if you read the displays and try the hands-on stations.

“Plus points: Lots to learn about the history of Belgian beer and the Art of Brewing. The best part of the experience is the sky bar where you meet other tipsy people. It's crazy. Totally recommend. Personal recommendation - don't forget the grammable, D.I.Y, and extremely interactive wall painting. Pro tip - the location on Get Your Guide is wrong. If you're using Google Maps It should be "Belgian Beer Museum" instead of the "The Cafe". Complaint - Pick up your damn phone or update your phone number.”
