Step by Step

Ghent is one of Belgium's beer capitals, home to age-old recipes and new craft trends. This tour invites you to immerse yourself in its liquid culture by visiting authentic local bars and breweries, each with its own atmosphere and speciality.

You will start at the historic Goudenleeuwplein, a meeting point that connects you to the medieval heart of the city. There you will meet your guide, who will explain the evolution of beer in Ghent, from the medieval monks to the modern microbreweries.

Over the next 2h 30 min, you will make several stops where you will taste selected Belgian beers - including the emblematic Gulden Draak and exclusive Ghent beers - accompanied by carefully chosen nibbles to enhance each flavour. At each location, your guide will share historical anecdotes, brewing techniques and tips on how to taste like a pro.

The last stop is a local craft brewery, where you'll taste a limited edition only available in Ghent. You'll also get the best recommendations for bars, restaurants and beer shops so you can continue exploring the city on your own with your tram pass or on foot.

You'll finish the tour with an in-depth knowledge of Ghent's brewing heritage and a palate trained to appreciate the subtleties of each style. An irresistible experience for those who love authentic taste and local stories!
