De Lambiek

Belgium


This sparkling showpiece attraction is for fans of the Brussels area's trademark gueuze and lambic beers. The De Lambiek visitors centre explains the beers' qualities and production methods, then offers a tasting of a range of local speciality brews that can prove hard to find anywhere else. Alsemberg is a 40-minute drive from Brussels. By public transport, take a train to Halle and then change to a bus for Alsemberg.
