Beer Tasting in Ghent: Discover Belgium’s Beer Culture in a Unique Way

Ghent is a city full of life and full of beer!

From centuries-old abbey breweries to creative microbreweries, this city breathes Belgian beer culture. Whether you’re a tourist, a group of friends, or simply looking for a unique activity, a beer tasting in Ghent is the perfect way to experience the city through flavor.

And when you do it at Waffles ’n Beer, you don’t just taste beer — you experience the ultimate Belgian duo: beer and waffles.

Why join a beer tasting in Ghent?

Ghent isn’t just any beer city. Here you’ll find everything that makes Belgian beer culture so special: traditional recipes, passionate local brewers, and that warm, creative spirit that defines Belgium.

During a beer tasting at Waffles ’n Beer, located on Onderbergen just steps away from the historic center, you’ll taste three carefully selected Belgian beers, each with its own story, character, and flavor.

Our hosts will help you discover why a tripel feels so different from a lambic, and how a crisp blonde beer pairs beautifully with a light, fluffy Brussels waffle.
