Tourism - Beers brewed with passion

Beers brewed with passion






We offer a selection of beer tours out of Dinant.

An example:

A one day tour of approximately 8 hours.
We start with a visit of the Brasserie des Fagnes. In this single place are gathered: a brewery of the 18th-19th century, a modern brewery in activity and a vast tasting room where you will can enjoy beers brewed on the spot, as well as many local products.
Guided tour of the old brewery, dating back from 1858, with exhibition of old documents of breweries in the area.
Visit of the modern brewery, in activity, with the Brewer.
A tasting of a special beer of the Brasserie des Fagnes is offered to each one. At the end of the visits, a gift is also foreseen for everybody.
Then, we move towards the Abbey of Maredsous, founded in 1872 by monks Benedictines, where you get time to visit the abbey and her church, or to walk in the picturesque valley of the Molignée. You also can opt to relax at the Saint-Joseph Center where you can taste the traditional specialities of the abbey: bread, cheese, beer and other local products.
From there, the circuit will carry us to the Brasserie du Bocq, founded in 1858, for a guided tour followed by a tasting.
We will round off the excursion by the visit of the Brasserie La Caracole. We will make the guided tour of this picturesque artisanal brewery, followed by a tasting of 3 beers with character: Troublette, Saxo and Caracole; all brewed on an old wood fire, just like the founders of the brewery did it in the 18th century.

Excursions by coach, intended for small groups, starting from Dinant (except otherwise arranged).



We are mentionned in The Belgian Beer Routes, the map of the belgian beer routes.
