Bièrez-vous?

21 October 2026

If you're interested in exploring Belgian craft beers, "Bièrez-vous?" is an initiative worth checking out. Created in 2013 by enthusiasts, this concept showcases high-quality local brews and helps raise awareness of lesser-known craft breweries. Based in Wallonia, it caters to both curious amateurs and connoisseurs, offering tasting sessions and introductions to zythology (the study of beer) . These workshops provide a deeper understanding of the brewing process, ingredients, and the diverse styles of craft beer.

The tastings take place in a rural setting at the Château de Schaltin Farm and last approximately three hours. They follow a comprehensive approach: visual, olfactory, and then gustatory analysis of the beers, explanation of the ingredients (malt, hops, yeast, water), and an introduction to the different brewing styles. Each session also includes a beer and food pairing , with food and beer pairings designed to highlight the aromas (fruity, spicy, caramelized, etc.).

Over the years, "Bièrez-vous?" has developed a range of friendly activities: guided tastings, cultural events, and beer workshops. Groups and businesses can also take advantage of customized packages , such as private discovery sessions, meals cooked with beer, or even a pop-up craft beer bar. These experiences foster conviviality and team building in a relaxed setting.

The initiative also offers tasting boxes and gift vouchers , allowing you to give or receive a unique experience. Looking ahead, "Bièrez-vous?" envisions a microbrewery where participants can brew their own beer and extend the experience beyond simple tasting.
