Belgian Beer Encyclopedia
Breweries and regions: discover Belgium through its beers
Browse the catalogue by province and understand the difference between a brewery, a brand, an abbey and a production site.
One region, several traditions
Belgian brewing cannot be reduced to one style per province. A single region may host makers of pale beers, dark beers, saisons and spontaneously fermented beers. The groups below help you explore the profiles; they do not define an appellation or one regional flavour.
Brewery, brand and brewing location
The brand name, associated abbey and production site may differ. The map and profiles provide the documented location for the featured reference, while producer links offer further information. A pin on the map does not mean a brewery is open for visits.
Plan your discovery
Start with a province, then compare the producers and styles in the profiles. Before travelling, check opening times and visitor arrangements directly with the brewery. To choose a beer, consider its strength, aromas and glass rather than relying only on its location.
