    Time stops at a great pub. Savor local brews (with or without alcohol) while meeting passionate brewers and pub owners who share their craft. Turn your next getaway into a beer pilgrimage with friends or family. And yes, lederhosen optional – but we won’t judge if you chicken dance.

    Come Hungry, Leave Happy

Savor Munich’s beer-hall brunches, festival favorites, and hidden gems that locals treasure. Because nothing beats a crispy pork knuckle (or schäufele) with your fresh-pulled pilsner.

Our Beercation Destinations

🇧🇪 Santé

Stand up, Raise your Glass… Twice.

Belgium’s beer culture demands respect – literally. Stand to toast in Brussels, double-raise in Flanders. This tiny country packs centuries of brewing tradition into every glass: wild lambics, farmhouse saisons, and monastery-brewed Trappist beers (some only served locally). Your beer pilgrimage starts here.

🇩🇪 Prost & Zum Wohl

Prost, from Europe’s Beer Heimat!

Germany’s beer scene goes beyond the famous Reinheitsgebot purity law. Here, “drink beer from here” isn’t just a slogan – it’s tradition. Each region fiercely champions its local brews, served perfectly in style-specific glasses (or not at all).

Meet unexpected masters like Sister Doris, Bavaria’s brewing nun, and discover why German women lead Europe’s craft beer revolution. Ready to find your Lieblingsbier?

🇮🇹 CinCin

Some Truffles with your Birra?

Italy’s craft beer renaissance might surprise you. From near extinction to 700+ thriving birrifici artigianali today, Italian brewers blend tradition with innovation. Each region boasts unique styles and flavors – some brilliant, some bizarre (looking at you, truffle beer). Want to impress? Order a Birra Grande.

🇪🇸 Salud + Topa

¡Cerveza Amigos!

Spain’s 1,000+ microcervecerías craft unique regional treasures, from seawater brews to anchovy-infused experiments. But here’s the real magic: every beer comes with a free tapa – from pintxos in Basque Country (where they say “Topa!”) to Granada’s generous plates.

Morning beer with jamón? Perfectly normal here. Just don’t tell the wine crowd.

🇫🇷 Santé

Alpine Brews to Mediterranean Views d’Azure

Beyond wine country lies France’s craft beer frontier. From village breweries to urban brasseries, discover artisanal beers in hidden corners of Paris, Marseille, and Lyon. And yes, you can even sip a craft brew atop Mont Blanc – we’ll tell you how.

Blonde ou ambrée? Let’s find your perfect French pour.
