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.

Updated on

One region, several traditions

Belgian brewing cannot be reduced to one style per province. A single region may be home to blond ales, dark beers, saisons and spontaneously fermented beers. Explore the breweries and their beers through the geographical groups below.

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.
