The experience

An evening tasting through UNESCO-listed Belgian beer culture, from a Trappist ale to Delirium Café.

A small-group evening tour, capped at 10 guests, beginning at Scott’s Bar with a Trappist ale and its story of monks, war and charity, before walking to the Toone Theatre, a UNESCO-protected marionette theatre and one of Brussels’ oldest, most characterful bars, for three expertly chosen beers.

The evening concludes with an optional visit to Delirium Café, holder of the Guinness World Record for the largest beer selection on the planet, to explore its village of seven themed bars at your own pace.
