On the Belgian Beer Expedition 2024, the crew checked out Brasserie de Cazeau, founded in 1753 near Tournay. It’s been run by the Agache family since day one, and today’s brewmaster is Laurent Agache, the 8th generation! Talk about a legacy!

On one of the days of the Belgian Beer Expedition 2024, the crew had a truly “blessed” experience.
We visited the Cistercian Abbey of Val-Dieu, one of only 22 Belgian abbeys with the “Recognized Abbey Beer Producer” seal and the only one brewing their beer right within the abbey walls.
Our adventure began with a guided tour through the majestic interior of Val-Dieu Abbey. We were treated to a glimpse of the monks’ dining hall, the serene cloister, the awe-inspiring church, and the ancient 13th-century inner chapel.
After exploring Val-Dieu Abbey, we visited the new brewery. It was installed in 2021 and cost an incredible 4 million Euros.

On one visit to the Belgian Beer Expedition 2024, we hit up another relic of the Belgian brewing scene, Brouwerij Liefmans.
My buddy, Mr. Marc Coesens, the big boss man himself, showed us around. We got to check out the old-school building and all the vintage equipment.
What sets Liefmans apart is its unique brewing process. Since 1991, they haven’t brewed their own wort. Instead, it was brewed by Brouwerij Riva in a nearby town. This tradition continued until 2007, when Duvel took over and the wort’s been brewed at De Koninck in Antwerp.
They truck the wort to Liefmans to be fermented, aged, and blended.
We even stumbled upon two gorgeous, massive Baudelots in mint condition and two huge coolships they used to chill the wort back in the day.

Day 4 of the 2024 Belgian Beer Expedition was a blast! 🍻

We started the morning with a visit to one of Belgium’s most traditional breweries, Brouwerij Het Anker, better known as Gouden Carolus, in Mechelen. I have an extraordinary fondness for this city as it was here that the Belgian Brewers Association awarded me the honor of “Knight of Beer” in 2018. 👑

The group toured the brewery’s old facilities, which, from the 12th to the 18th centuries, were a Beguinage monastery where they cared for the sick. They even produced beer and used it for medicinal purposes. They have a brewing room from the 1950s but with a fully modernized technical room. We also visited the old coolship and baudelot used until 1990. At the end of the visit, we passed by the old malthouse, now used to mature their fantastic whiskey in wooden barrels. 🥃

🍻 Calling all beer enthusiasts! 🍻

Beer Expedition Belgium 2024 visited one of the most historic breweries on the planet: Brouwerij Rodenbach.

Guided by the exceptional beer expert Belinda Eelbode, we delve into the captivating history of this legendary brewery, responsible for over 80% of the world’s Flanders Red Ale production.

Step back in time as we explore the ancient English-style malt house, the only one of its kind still intact in Belgium.

Wander among the open and closed fermentation tanks and marvel at the sight of 294 dornas housing an impressive 6.3 million liters of aging beer.

This is a journey to be noticed for any true beer lover!

On one of the stops of the 2024 Belgian Beer Expedition, the intrepid explorers ventured to In De Vrede Westvleteren, the café of the Sint-Sixtus Abbey of Westvleteren. This holy grail of beer haven was a dream come true for any hophead, and the group had the privilege of savoring all three Westvleteren brews.

A true pilgrimage for any craft beer aficionado. ⛪️🍺

The Westvleteren 12, a dark strong ale, is the crown jewel of the abbey’s offerings, known for its rich, complex flavor and elusive nature. The Westvleteren 8, a golden strong ale, is slightly lighter in body but still packs a flavorful punch. And the Westvleteren Blonde, a blond ale, is a refreshing and easy-drinking brew that perfectly rounds out the trio.

If you’re ever lucky enough to get your hands on these liquid gems, savor every sip. 🤤

The Westvleteren beers are brewed in limited quantities and are only available for purchase at the abbey itself or at a select few cafes in Belgium. So if you’re ever in the neighborhood, be sure to make the pilgrimage and experience these legendary brews for yourself.

Cheers! 🍻

Day 1 of the Beer Expedition

We kicked off our Belgian beer adventure in the southern province of Wallonia, specifically in the Hainaut region, to explore the breweries that produce Saison beers. 🍻

Our first stop of the morning was at Brasserie de Blaugies, a symbol of the Saison revival founded in 1987. They produce around 5-6 beers, all using the same unique Saison yeast. 👨‍🍳

Both the brewery and the restaurant/tavern are run by the Carlier family. We were welcomed by the founding brewer Pierre-Alex Carlier and his son Kevin Carlier. 🍻

Calling all beer lovers! Get ready for the ultimate Belgian beer adventure! 🇧🇪

🍻 **Belgian Beer Expedition 2024 is here! 12 days of exploring the BEST breweries and flavors Belgium has to offer.**🍻

Kick things off in style with an epic beer-paired feast at Bier Central Brussels:

🤤 Flemish Beef Stew slow-cooked in rich Flanders Red Ale. You won’t find this kind of flavor anywhere else. Paired perfectly with a Rodenbach Grand Cru.

🤯 Gent Stew - a creamy, dreamy classic loaded with chicken, veggies, and a serious hit of Belgian Tripel. They even pair it with Witkap Pater Tripel, the granddaddy of them all!

👅 Sweet tooth? Choose between a decadent Belgian ice cream sundae or a warm, flaky peach tart. Both get a kick from a tasty Hopus Strong Blond.

The kicker? This whole feast is part of your beer expedition package!

This is the beer trip of a lifetime. Don’t miss out!
