Brugge Beer Tour (Self Guided), Bruges

The Land of Beer that is Belgium, where each corner calls to you alluringly, has long welcomed thirsty visitors from all over the world. Of all the Belgian destinations, the medieval city of Brugge is a perfect place to promote one of the country’s most important and best-known exports. Back in the 15th century, at the peak of its commercial might, the city boasted over 50 working breweries within its fortified walls.

Today there are only a handful of them left, including staples like Bourgogne des Flandres – renowned for its distinct red-brown brew of low alcohol content and rich finish, and De Halve Maan – famed as the owner of the world's first ever beer pipeline. Each of these two has a small shop and is well equipped to let you taste their beers along with some specially prepared side dishes.

Also, you will be amazed to find in Brugge more than one bar that can offer you up to 400(!!!) beers, both on tap and in bottles. Among the well-stocked champions here are Staminee de Garre, Cambrinus Bierbrasserie and 't Brugs Beertje Beer House. Be sure to drop by any of these and you will never regret that you did.
