It's time to move to our last brewery, established in 2018, where the brewer will receive us with fresh beers. Then, while taking us through the process of converting malt into beer, he will also share how his beer-making career began. This brewery creates brews for their own use only. Could this be more exclusive? A part of their beers arepermanent, while the others are one-time creations. Let’s try to grab one of their recently launched editions! Take the chance to take a beer home and enjoy it with friends.
Oh and by the way, let’s determine who scored the highest during our quiz so that the lucky one can be awarded with an extra tasting!

Stop At: Minor Swing, Ottogracht 56, Ghent 9000 Belgium

You can call this an informative and interactive tour, but we also want to make sure you aren’t missing any of the styles that represent Belgium’s famous beer culture and we know that brewery visits alone can’t make this happen.

So, as we are in the heart of the city center, we walk a bit further and grab a seat in an authentic hidden gem where we’ll finish our tour with one of Belgium’s traditional beers, like a Trappist, Lambic or Triple.
On sunny days, better enjoy the terrace.
Let’s chit chat all together, cause you are not only here to taste but maybe to make new friends too, right?
Have you discovered a new beer taste that you particularly like? Before saying goodbye, the host will be honoured to share with you more delicious Belgian beers as a variant of your new favourite beer!
