Leuven Beer Stories: from the oldest pub to the longest bar

Join us through the streets and squares between Grote Markt and Vismarkt, and discover why Erasmus and other foreign visitors were so surprised by our drinking habits. Was that much beer really consumed here? And did it taste anything like today’s beer? What is Leuven’s oldest pub, and does every pub in Leuven have to serve Stella?

Who were the most legendary drinkers? This walk is full of anecdotes and tall tales about Leuven’s beer culture.

We offer these walks in a “dry” version and a “wet” version, including tastings.
For the “wet” version, we stop at a typical Leuven pub. You pay an additional €10 per person to the guide at the start of the tour.

Main stops:
Grote Markt, Eikstraat, Mechelsestraat, Lei, Oude Markt
