One of the main highlights is the beer tasting, featuring three carefully selected local Belgian beers. These aren’t generic brands; each beer is chosen to showcase Belgium’s rich brewing culture. The guide explains the origins and unique qualities of each brew, adding depth to the tasting experience.

Participants can savor these beers alongside their waffles or use them as ingredients in the waffle batter—an authentic Belgian twist. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, alcohol-free beer can be provided if requested, ensuring everyone can enjoy the flavors.

The host explains the history and significance of this method, making it more than just a cooking class.

Once the waffle batter is prepared, the fun continues with decorating and topping options.
