From field to glass, discover beer in the countryside

Beer is that convivial drink we all love to share with friends. But what do you really know about it? What we can tell you is that Flanders has played a leading role in the history of this beverage. From hop cultivation to the historic abbeys that have sprung up since the Middle Ages, Flanders has lived and breathed beer for over 600 years. The proof is in the pictures: from city coats of arms to building facades, traces of beer are everywhere. This trip will show you all aspects of this fermented drink, from the hop field to the glass.

Embark on a journey through the countryside of cross-border Flanders with our trip that will take you to villages by bike, following in the footsteps of hop growers in the Belgian hop capital, and revealing the secrets of brewing in a workshop where you can brew your own beer. Finally, this unforgettable trip will allow you to discover the inner workings of the legendary Saint Bernardus brewery and taste high-quality regional beers.

Do it by bike

What better way to discover a region than by bike? We invite you to spend one of two days exploring by electric bike, amidst the hop fields and fields of Flanders.
