What To Expect
Belgian beer culture is listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In 1 hour 30 minutes, Dimitri, a certified beer sommelier and trained chef, gives you the key to it, privately, for your group only.
Before the first pour, Dimitri asks what you like. Then he "prescribes" 4 Belgian beers matched to your palate, from fruity lambics to powerful Trappist ales, including bottles you won't find in tourist shops.
In his own tasting room on the pedestrian Boulevard Anspach, two minutes from the Grand Place, you'll learn to taste like a professional (look, aroma, palate, finish), understand the main Belgian beer styles and hear the stories of the monks, blenders and brewing families behind them.
You'll leave with your own beer prescription: the styles and names to look for, plus insider tips on where to drink well in Brussels.
