We had a fabulous tour with Elodie. We highly recommend. Elodie educated us on traditional beer and brewing and she was able to suggest drinks to suit what we liked. Even if you are not a beer drinker this tour is great. Cherry beer is great for first timers ! Elodie also offered local hints and tips. We ate at a traditional restaurant Elodie recommended and it was also amazing. We also visited beer houses off the beaten tourist path as part of the tour that we wouldn’t have normally gone to and the accompanying snacks with the drinks were lovely. Really recommend this tour.

Great tour!

I really enjoyed this tour with Elodie. She has a great knowledge of all things beer-related, made great beer tasting recommendations and showed me some lovely new Belgian bars, that I have never visited before even though I already know Brussels quite well. I can only recommend this tour and Elodie as a guide. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience! This is a must do!

Elodie was absolutely amazing and a wonderful guide. She took us to some great spaces we would never have visited on our own and helped guide our beer experience with new things. She took time to make the tour personable and interesting. We could not recommend her or this experience more! If visiting Brussels, this is a must do!

Knowledgeable, informative, and fun!

Elodie was a fantastic guide for this tour! Her passion and knowledge for beer and the culture of Belgium/Brussels really kicked off our trip well. She not only gave us incredible recommendations for what to drink at every stop, but had tips and insight on the city that we could use for the rest of our trip. Elodie genuinely cared about making our experience exactly what we wanted and hand selected places to fit our specific desires. She took us to what she called “Holy Trinity” of local bars with unique Belgian beer options. We had a fantastic time and would recommend Elodie and the beer tour to anyone in Brussels!
