Excursion An antwerp pub crawl tour at Antwerp

To paraphrase UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage site, “The making and appreciation of beer is part of the living heritage of communities throughout Belgium, playing a role in daily life as well as festive occasions.” Plus, it tends to taste seriously delicious – though that last bit is not UNESCO talking.

This fun, flavorful beer tour through central Antwerp is curated to prove that point. You’ll visit three authentic local pubs to savor Belgium's world-renowned brews, drinking a different style at each stop. It might be a rich Trappist ale made under the supervision of monks, a refreshing witbier, a tripel, golden ale, or simply a favored local pilsner. The one ingredient they all share is the inviting atmosphere of the Antwerp beer spots where you find them. These places are truly an institution in this country.

With the help of your expert guide and assorted pub proprietors, you’ll learn much about the brewing traditions and ingredients that help make Belgian beer so special – and acquire a taste for how Antwerp’s lively pub culture finds its way into the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Come on the crawl and say “Cheers” to a perfect evening of walking and tasting. Or, as they do around here, raise your glass twice and say, “Santé!”
