What To Expect
Belgian beer culture is listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and the best way to understand it is at the table.
Join Dimitri, a certified beer sommelier and trained chef, in his own tasting room on the pedestrian Boulevard Anspach, two minutes from the Grand Place. Over 1 hour 45 minutes you'll taste 5 Belgian beers, paired with Trappist cheese, artisan charcuterie and chocolate from a Purveyor to the Belgian Royal Court.
This is a seated masterclass, not a bar crawl. Dimitri shows you how to taste like a professional (look, aroma, palate, finish) and why some pairings sing: when flavours complement each other, when they contrast, and when a beer's bubbles and bitterness cut through richness.
Expect bottles you won't find in regular bars, the stories of the monks, blenders and brewing families behind them, and as many questions as you like. Perfect for curious beginners and seasoned beer lovers alike. You'll be able to order with confidence in any Belgian café.
