Good Beer Guide Belgium
This completely revised edition of Good Beer Guide Belgium has been four years in the making. So it should be no surprise that aside from the changes to the breweries, the beers and the café listings, which are all too numerous to count, its design, style and coverage have grown up a bit too.
‘Undoubtedly the best book on its subject on the market’
Rough Guide to Belgium & Luxembourg

Beers

Being there
Good Beer Guide Belgium lets you get your head around the train (see Belgian Rail Map), tram, bus and road systems before you set out, so as to plan your trip more realistically. And it tells you why it makes sense to consider the bicycle as the beer drinker’s best friend.
Tourism
As well as giving suggestions of small, usually family-run hotels to stay at and local tourist sites to see between beers, Good Beer Guide Belgium also gives details of two dozen museums related to beer and brewing, plus over thirty local festivals featuring beer.
