Brussels Beer Guide: Top Breweries, Brilliant Restaurants and Gorgeous Hotels
"Less than 200 meters away, you'll find the Brasserie de l’Ermitage, a more recent establishment that has made a name for itself with its IPA (India Pale Ale) beers. It regularly innovates, particularly with its Cureghem Kriekland and stout beers. The brewery has a tasting room in Anderlecht, where concerts are held, as well as a shop. In Saint-Gilles, you'll find the Ermitage bar, where you can enjoy all these beers alongside a delicious sourdough pizza." - The MICHELIN Guide
There's a theme to my reviews I think. Great friendly service and beer selection (highlight goes to the porter blended with Cantillon lambic!). Tasty sausage to eat with the beer. More international selection of beers (a few good IPAs, for example). Interesting art and design inside! Taster sizes are available.

We went for a beer tasting here and had so much fun. The staff/owner was really friendly. This place is actually a brewery and they have beer tastings on Friday and Saturday from 2pm to 10pm. The beer tasting is for 8 beers out of the 11 they have there. The place is big so it’s good for big groups. Would recommend this place.

A wide variety of draft beers served by knowledgeable bartenders. Good IPA's are plentiful on their board and worth trying. You can get multiple sizes.

GET TASTING TRAYS! A very cool space with some pallet seating and wall murals. There were 11 taps on and the bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful about each beer available. All the beers are delicious and it was nice to be able to get less traditional Belgium styles. Cured sausages and pizza are the bar snacks on offer and both were great to have alongside the beer.

Interesting found on our cantillon trip! Nice vibe brewery with chill interior and you can see their brewing place too.

Amazing little brewery. It breathes chill vibes, very casual environment. All the beers that they had in the time of my visit were different kinds of pale ales, but all very drinkable. Also two stouts and porters. Oh, and I don't know if you can get a cheaper "big" beer in Brussels, here for 5€. Also, you can try to solve their 3D puzzle.

Great selection of 13 beers brewed on site.
You can get a 12cl taster of anything for €1.80, 33cl for €3.50 and a 50cl but I can't remeber how much they were...
I recommend the tasting boards, 4 12cl samples for €7.
Love the Jasmine tea beer and there was one with blackberries and plum that was really nice.
Trendy palatte and houseplant vibe, great staff. Definitely ones to watch 🍻🍻

Cozy little brewery taproom has a large number of their beers on tap and some guest beers, all listed on Untappd. Beers were fairly mixed quality, had a sour stout which is an ambitious beer, not well executed. A nice place to take a break from the lambics at Cantillon.
