The location is situated between City Hall and the Brabo statue.
Description
We stroll through the old town and visit historic pubs. It is also possible to start in a taproom of a brewery (Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie). Belgian beer is of obvious interest, but there are other local drinks to discover. Are you ready to explore?
What is the secret to the brewing of such a good beer? And various styles: hoppy, sour and fruity, and mildly sweet. It's an unexpected conclusion. Listen, walk and taste.
To stimulate your curiosity, the following are a few peculiar but facts.
Thanks to the French Revolution, we can enjoy Trappist beer from Westmalle!
Thanks to the losers of the local elections, Belgium has a wide range of high-quality beers!
In each pub, we try something different. Advice will be given by the guide and pub owner in each case. But the choice is yours!
Please note that at each pub visit, the customer (group or individual) treats the guide to a drink.

Friendly host and a good beer tasting experience.
I met Flip my guide at Grote Markt. There was clear communication about the pick up site which was very helpful, and avoided unecessary stress. Flip guided me around small local pubs in Antwerp that he knew well, and greeted a few of his friends who were also regulars. He also knew some of the pub owners, one of which brewed his own beer that we tasted. I had an interesting discussion with this pub owner about his beer and its flavour.
Throughout the crawl, Flip took the effort to ask me what sort of beers I enjoyed, and helped me to choose accordingly. As a result, I tried a broad sample of both local Antwerp and Belgian beers. There was even a Scottish beer thrown into the mix. Flip also spoke extensively about the history of beer, the different brewing processes and how pubs have changed over the years. This was interesting, and I certainly learnt some new facts.
For the final stop on the crawl, Flip took me to a pub that was within a short walking distance to my hotel. I appreciated this as it meant that I did not have to worry about finding my way back. On the whole, I would recommend this pub crawl, especially if you are interested in sampling the local beer, and learning about its history. In addition, you can also meet some local people and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the venues.
P.S when I first booked the crawl, I did not realise that it would be a solo one. However, Flip quickly put me at ease and I enjoyed the experience.

Flip, A Man of Many Stories and Beer Knowledge
My husband and I met with Flip. He was a very kind and pleasant man. Very eager to learn more about the types of beers we enjoyed and made thoughtful suggestions on the types of Belgium beers we should try. The selections were incredible. I highly recommend booking a tour with Flip if you are not only interested in drinking beer but learning about the rich history on which it came from.

An Enjoyable Afternoon!
We were surprised that we were the only two people on the tour since the photo showed a big group of people. But that turned out to be great luck as Flip was able to customize where we went, what we saw, the beers we had, the stories and history he told. He knows so much about the history of Belgium beer and the history of Antwerp in particular. He took us to three spots that I don't think we'd have found on our own. He was very informative and entertaining! We had a great time.
