★★★★★

Amazing from start to finish!

We had an absolutely fantastic beer tasting experience with Doctor Beer in Brussels. It was just me, my dad, and my sister on the tour, and he really tailored everything to us. We got to enjoy a great mix of beer tasting and a guided tour, tried Belgian beers carefully selected for our tastes, and even received personal recommendations for other Belgian beers we should try — and he was completely spot-on with every single one. On top of that, he gave us excellent restaurant tips that made the rest of our trip even better. Doctor Beer is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. Highly recommended!

Doctor Beer .. He knows!

A memorable and unique experience

My dad and I had a private beer tasting experience with Doctor Beer back in February on our last evening in Brussels, and it was such a memorable and unique experience. We had a lot of fun, learnt a lot, and Dimitri himself was such an interesting and charismatic guy to spend an evening in a Belgian bar with! He also took the time the next day to help us with our selection of beers to take home as gifts.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know


What is included in the Belgian beer & food pairing experience?

Our standard pairing experience includes 4 premium Belgian beers (Trappist, Lambic, Abbey or craft) expertly matched with a curated selection of artisan Belgian cheeses, Belgian chocolate, traditional specialties or artisanal candies — depending on the beers of the day. Each pairing is explained by a certified beer sommelier, with full tasting notes, water and palate cleansers included.

How long does the pairing session last?

The standard Belgian beer & food pairing lasts about 2 hours. That’s enough time to savour each pairing, learn the principles of harmony and contrast, and ask the sommelier anything you want. Premium and private sessions can run up to 3 hours for a more in-depth experience.

Is the pairing suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. Our certified sommelier adapts every session to your knowledge level. Whether you have never paired beer with food before or you already collect Trappists, you’ll learn something new in a friendly, no-pressure atmosphere — no prior beer knowledge required.

What food pairings will I discover?

It depends on the beers of the day — that’s what makes each session unique. You may discover artisan Belgian cheeses with Trappist ales, Belgian chocolate with Quadrupels, traditional Belgian specialties (charcuterie, local spreads) with Saisons or Lambics, and artisanal candies with sour or fruit beers. The sommelier picks the pairings to reveal each beer’s character.

Where does the pairing take place?

At Doctor Beer Brussels, Boulevard Anspach, 1000 Bruxelles — three minutes’ walk from the Grand-Place and Manneken Pis. Easily accessible by metro (Brussels Central, lines 1 & 5), tram (lines 3 & 4) and bus.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We accommodate vegetarian preferences, lactose intolerance (we adapt the cheese pairings) and most food allergies. Please tell us when you book so we can prepare suitable substitutions that maintain the quality and learning aspect of the pairing.

Can I book a private pairing for my group?

Yes. We offer private Belgian beer & food pairings for groups from 6 to 30+ people — perfect for team-building, corporate events, birthdays, hen and stag parties, and private celebrations. Available in English, French, Dutch and Spanish. Contact us via WhatsApp +32 486 23 68 36 or info@doctorbeer.be for a tailored quote.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance, especially for weekends. Last-minute spots sometimes open up — message us on WhatsApp to check. For groups of 15+ people, please book at least one week ahead.
