Some people’s idea of a beer adventure is checking out that pub two streets over from the local. The true beer connoisseur is a different breed. Designed with the fancy suds aficionado in mind, this eight-day trip takes you to the ancestral home of Trappist, one of the world’s finest brewers. You’ll visit five Trappist monastery-breweries in Belgium, explore Brussels and Bruges, and stuff yourself with mussels, waffles, and chocolate galore. (Hey, beer-tasting is hungry work.)

Day 3 Brussels/Rochefort (1B, 1L)
See the church at Abbaye Notre Dame de Saint Remy where Rochefort is made – with some luck, they’ll let us in for a peek. Head to the markets and collect some picnic supplies to enjoy with a Trappist beer.
