April 2025

Best Damn Farmhouse Ale Tour of Belgium & France, April 24-May 2 • New Departure!

Venture into the historic and scenic world of saisons and biére de gardes. Their roots can be traced to rustic ales originally brewed on farms for seasonal workers in this wide area once known as the Kingdom of Flanders (which then included parts of France, Belgium and the Netherlands). On this tour you will experience breathtaking views, scenery, geography and architecture. You’ll enjoy regional cuisine and fine beer beyond compare. We’ll visit some small independent artisanal breweries still located on working farms and sometimes large, modern ones, most situated in scenic countryside locations, where we’ll experience these very satisfying ales in rustic taprooms. Itinerary to come.
