“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.”

4.The Belgian Beer World Experience & Beer Tasting

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

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.”
