We had a fun and informative tour led by Sebastien who himself made the tour such a memorable experience. He had great knowledge of both beer and Brussels, which went down especially well combined with the beers themselves which were great choices, all with interesting back stories and tasting great.

Our tour, originally booked in German, had to be conducted in English at short notice because the guide was ill. Thanks to our great guide Ithier, it was no problem at all to follow his explanations, despite limited knowledge of English! In a relaxed, informative way, 8 types of beer that were not known in the classical way were "processed" Our conclusion: We were extremely enthusiastic about this tour!

The guide was great, but the tour was overpriced. Included should be "Selection of Brussels cheeses, pies and chocolate". There was no pie or chocolate at all. In the first restaurant there were Emmentaler cubes and pieces of sausage/salami, and in the last restaurant only Gouda cubes. There are no snacks in the two middle bars. Only when asked did the guide organize cheese cubes and salami for us in the penultimate restaurant, since we were all hungry.
