Highlights

  • Sensory stations: Smell hop varieties, handle raw ingredients and see how fermentation works.
  • Brewers’ stories: Meet more than a hundred Belgian brewers through interactive displays.
  • Beer abroad: A section on how Belgian beer travelled and influenced brewing elsewhere.
  • The Beerlab: The rooftop bar at the end of the route, looking out over central Brussels.

Good to know

  • Time on site: About 2 hours.
  • Activity level: Easy, self-paced indoor walking across several floors, with lifts available.
  • Pairs well with: The Atomium or Mini Europe on the north side of the city.
