Belgium is a mosaic of many cultures. And that is reflected in the beers made there. So unique is the beer culture in Belgium that it is recognized by UNESCO.
Within Belgium, is Flanders. Flanders is famously home of Flanders red and oud bruin, but also so much more. Great beer, great food, historic sites and friendly people await. Explore world famous brewers, including the famous Trappists, but also breweries you’ve never heard of, where the beer is only served on site. Lambic? You bet!
Rent a bike. Work up a thirst and drink in everything Flanders has to offer.
