- Beer tasting at the Hoppiness Tasting Room in Brussels. Location is near metro Simonis/ Elisabeth and tram stop Broustin (tram 9 /19). Very easy to reach by public transport or with a taxi or uber. We accept bookings for 2-16 people.
- Custom events Our beer tastings can be combined with many other options. We can bring in an art professional for instance for a beer and art combo like painting, collage making or beer label design.
- Private beer guide in Brussels. I can take you on a customised tour in the city of Brussels, visiting bars, breweries and other interesting places. We decided beforehand on the amount of beers and the amount of time you’d like me to guide you through the city. Brewery visits may be possible depending on the day/time. We have a great list of bars and locations in Brussels at hand, so we will take you through the world of Belgian beer while enjoying the city and the beers.
Options for families/ groups of friends:
Are you looking for a nice get-together with several families? Hoppiness can host an informal beer tasting event where you can bring your children. We can even organise a tasting of non-alcoholic drinks for older children. (Alcohol will never be served to anyone under 16!) Just email us with the details of your group and your wishes and we will make a plan.
Hoppiness offers customised craft beer tastings. Beer selection changes often, is a local as possible, and we will always try to have a different beer selection for returning customers.
The beers will be paired with different cheeses, chocolate and other finger food. Water and bread or breadsticks are also provided during a tasting. (allergies can be taken into account if Hoppiness is notified during the time of booking.)
Our advice: eat well before a beer tasting 🙂
We host in English and Dutch. We work together with some very good French-speaking colleagues so if a tasting in French is needed, we can arrange for that as well.
Non-alcoholic craft beer tastings
It’s always possible to request a separate beer tasting of non-alcoholic beers. (for example for a driver / someone who can’t or won’t drink alcohol) We never encourage drinking too much and we recommend our guests to take public transport or use an uber or taxi.
Children
It is possible to bring your young children to a private tasting. All this must be arranged upfront so I can make sure there are some age appropriate facilities/ toys /snacks/drinks present. A small fee will apply per child. Please note that your children will be in the same room as the beer tasting and that you will have to watch your own children during the tasting. No alcohol shall be served to anyone under the age of 18. It is possible to include children in the cheese/ chocolate tastings for a fee.
Important
- All bookings must be paid in advance by bank transfer or via payment through Billetweb.
- Your booking is final 1 week before the starting time. No refunds are given after that day.
- If you have a valid reason to postpone (sickness/emergency/ travel issues etc.) a beer tasting in the 72 hours before your booked date, we will reschedule your beer tasting. When we will try to reschedule within a week there are no extra costs (subject to availability). If we have to reschedule for more than a week later, we will add a rescheduling fee . Your beers will keep, but the fresh cheese and chocolate I buy for your group will not.
- Please inform us upfront of any allergies in your group. This is important for the snacks that will be provided. Also, if you are allergic to rabbits, I will make sure they will not be in the tasting room on the day of your visit.
- The minimum drinking age in Belgium is 16. On entry I will always check your ID-card to make sure you are of legal drinking age. If you can’t provide a valid ID the tasting will not happen. In this case there is no refund.
- Smoking or vaping is not allowed in the Hoppiness tasting room or in the garden
