|Completed| – Belgium and Germany and Holland Oh My!

Join Pub Culture Beercations October 15-28, 2019 as we explore craft beer and pub culture through three of the best beer countries in Europe; Belgium, Germany and Holland… Oh Yes!

This beer focused trip will not only visit amazing cities currently known for great breweries and/or beer bars, but also cities who historically played a role in brewing beer and sharing that beer with the world.

Not sure you can “just drink beer every day”? Don’t worry, we don’t just go to breweries and sit in beer bars all day and night… but also will visit cultural, and historical sites in these three countries, including some WWI and WWII history – all while leaving you plenty of free time to do things on your own in the various towns and cities in which we stay.

Your guide, and Pub Culture Beercations founder, Chris Bettini has been to Europe 18 times since 2008 to explore the amazing and diverse craft beer scene in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, and put together some of his favorite stops into this 13 night trip!
