Exploring Belgian Beer World in the Heart of Brussels

This tour centers on the Belgian Beer World, located in the Brussels Stock Exchange building. It transforms the space into a multi-sensory experience where visitors learn about centuries of brewing tradition through immersive displays and interactive exhibits. You can see, smell, and play with ingredients like hops and malts, gaining insight into Belgium’s diverse beer styles, from Tripels to Lambics and Krieks.

The exhibition design aims to celebrate Belgian craft, culture, and community. You will discover how geography and ingredients influenced regional brewing styles, and why Belgian beer is recognized by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. The rooftop Beer Lab offers the chance to sip a freshly tapped beer while enjoying panoramic views over Brussels’ historic center.

The Rooftop Beer Tasting and Panoramic Views

This Skybar provides a relaxing setting to appreciate Brussels’ skyline and the city’s architecture. Whether you prefer a crisp Tripel or a more sour Lambic, the curated selection aims to satisfy both casual drinkers and connoisseurs alike.

This rooftop tasting closes the loop on the beer journey, combining educational exhibits with flavorful enjoyment. The curated experience balances fun and learning, making it suitable for a wide range of visitors.
