    Our private tour with BeerSecret was amazing. We learned A LOT about Belgian beers and our tour of the L'Annexe was really fun. We had a great time talking to the owner there. Her recommendations were spot on and we can't wait to go back to Belgium. Liselot was super personable and a joy to hangout with.

    We had a Fantastic tour with Dries in Ghent. I would highly recommend this tour. Dries gave us a lot of good information but made it very fun. The beer selection was great - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Ghent!

    Liselot is super knowledgeable and so is her team (they were on my tour for training purposes). Everyone knows so much about beer and talk about it in a way that anyone can understand. I enjoyed all of my beers and the food pairings that went with the beers. The walking tour was super scenic. Highly recommend!

    Liselot has much knowledge of the history of brewing from long ago to present day. She learns the tastes of her customers so she can make appropriate recommendations. We loved the tour. Highly recommend to all beer enthusiasts.

    My good buddy and I did the BRUSSELS CRAFT BREWERY TOUR & MEET THE BREWER Tour. My friend and I aren't Belgian, but have lived here for half a decade with Belgian partners and have had a fair share of the Belgian beers. I used to be a homebrewer with a multi-keg/tap system and had considered making a beer pilgrimage to Belgium in the past simply to do a week-long beer tour. I give this background to make the point that this tour was awesome for all people, no matter their level of beer knowledge/passion. Liselot was our tour guide, and she led us on a beer adventure around Brussels, to places we wouldn't have been able to find (or get into) ourselves. She shared her knowledge of beer, history and Brussels through stories and explanations throughout the tour, and did a wonderful job of making the tour interesting for everyone who came (ex-pat locals, a Japanese man who was on a beer pilgrimage to Belgium, and some fellow Americans who were not 'beer geeks'). There was a good mix of structure and spontaneity, and Liselot handled it all with ease. Our tour ended sitting in the sun* at a cafe, across from a really nice beer bar (L'Ermitage Saint-Gilles). [*just to be clear, sitting in the sun in Belgium is a real rarity, so it was like the cherry on top kind of thing] Afterwards, my friend and I actually went to the beer bar with a fellow beer-tourist, and spent the rest of the evening tasting beers and eating together, so who knows, you too might meet some fun people to hang out with on the tour. With regard to the beer itself, we sampled a full range of Belgian styles of beer (oude geuze, saison, pils, blonde, tripel, and a quad) and if you win the quiz at the end you can choose your own too. As a drinker of many Belgian brews, it was nice to discover some new styles, brewers and flavor profiles, I've never had before and didn't know much about. Learning the history of beer brewing in Brussels (and BE in general) was also interesting. I'd highly recommend going on this BXL craft brewery and meet the brewer tour. We had a great time, and appreciated the beer adventure that Liselot guided us through. Santé! / Schol! / Proost! / Cheers!

    Awesome experience with Liselot. We were a group of 10 Belgians guys doing a bachelor party, and Liselot really hooked us with her knowledge. The different places we visited were all peculiar and had a pleasant atmosphere. Highlight of our weekend for sure. Thanks Liselot!

    Hello. Your virtual testing was the best ever! The beers were excellent, Lisalot was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Your presentation was fun, well organized and just perfect! The tasting cards were a nice touch to an already great presentation. I’m looking forward to visiting you in person soon. All the best!

    We had a great time on the "Ghent by boat Beer tour". As Belgians ourselves we learnt a few more things about Belgian beers and its ingredients, the beer sommelier was impressively knowledgeable , I would definitely recommend this tour, even without the beer tastings. Cheers !

    Liselot & The Beer Secret were wonderful! We learned so much wonderful history and culture. And of course there were the amazing beers! She was wonderful at recommending and sharing different styles and breweries from all over the area. I'd love to take the tour again if we come back to Brussels!

    We had an excellent tour with Liselot in Ghent. We already know quite a bit about beer and I think this tour is great for beginners and experts alike. It’s great having your own local expert.

    Very nice experience. We really had a great time tasting the adventure box. Lot of fun and definitely a lot of knowledge from BeerSecret. Totally approved even from my most demanding friend when it comes to beer.

    Great experience! Our tour of Brussels and introduction to all things Belgian Beer was amazing. Lot was a fantastic guide and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We are very glad we booked this and would highly recommend. She was beyond accommodating and really helped open our eyes to Belgian beer which we are now huge fans!! I am more into craft beer than my wife but Lot was great at explaining things at both of our levels. So if you are a craft beer fan or just starting to get into it, the tour will work great for you!!

    Excellent experience, we had a great time learning about beer and having fun with our group. Everyone was excited to learn and taste, and our guide was incredibly knowledgable and answered all our questions. I left with a newfound love and respect for Belgian beer. One highlight was trying a true Lambic beer! I'd only had the fruity ones before, I didn't realize those are marketing gimmicks - there's a much deeper tradition to explore.

  • 5/5 Ashleigh S. 1 year ago on Google
    I took a private beer tour in Brussels with Liselot in late December 2022. We tasted 6+ types of beers across three diverse locations (including some seasonal selections), and enjoyed a variety of delicious Belgian chocolates that paired with our beers. Liselot was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a baseline education about brewing and beers in Belgium - including lots of recommendations for bars/breweries and beers to try after. We’re excited about the Blind Beer Tasting boxes to come in 2023!!! Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a Belgian beer tour and if/when we return to Belgium, we would love to take another tour.

  • 5/5 Tom H. 1 year ago on Google
    Liselot was warm and warm, welcoming and fun bouncing off the group to make it interactive. She’s very knowledgeable about the vast array of beers brewed locally and the history of them. Good beers, fun and tasty treats to accompany each. Liselot will give you recommendations of beers to try based upon your personal preferences as well as some must visit watering holes. Well worth the money for what you get and supporting a young passionate local starting up on her own!

    I attended a beer tour a little while ago and I really enjoyed it! Liselot is so passionate about her work and knows so much about different types of beer. I highly recommend BeerSecret if you want to get a real taste of Belgian beer and perhaps some fries and mayo with it :))

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn S. 2 years ago on Google
    My beer tasting with BeerSecret was amazing!! Liselot was knowledgeable and very passionate about the beers. It was great to learn from her. She also helped me a lot as a solo traveler and was very kind. Thanks again!!

    Great tour with very knowledgeable guide who's able to adapt to everone's level. A great way to see some of the city and discover it's beer related secrets. Especially interesting if you want to spent some time and have a drink with some like minded people.

  • 5/5 Jenci V. 2 years ago on Google
    Super experience, with a very experienced guide in Ghent (liselot). learned more about the processing of beer and flavours, tasted 5 different beers in 3 different locations. I recommend everybody to do this with a bunch of friends or relatives.

    So much fun, the exact right amount of beers and bars for a good experience. Great explanations and our guide (the owner of the company) clearly has a passion for the subject. I would definitely recommend this if you want to meet new people and have a great selection of Belgian beers.
