Raise your Glass in the "Most Beautiful Square in Europe"!

Once a year, the magnificent Grand Place transforms into the ultimate paradise for craft beer enthusiasts. Join Army Outdoor Recreation for an unforgettable day trip to the Belgian Beer Festival, where over 350 distinct local brews take center stage. Surrounded by golden medieval guildhouses in a UNESCO World Heritage site, this is your exclusive opportunity to sample world-famous Trappist ales, rich stouts, and crisp lambics right at the source.

Even if you want to step away from the festival tents, the capital of the European Union offers endless discoveries. Wander through the cobblestone streets to find legendary local landmarks like the iconic Manneken Pis and his hidden companion, Jeanneke Pis, or take a quick ride to marvel at the futuristic Atomium. With a completely open schedule, you can conquer the city exactly how you want.
No trip to Belgium is complete without indulging in the world-class culinary scene. Start your morning with a decadent, chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, grab a hearty lunch of authentic pub grub, and cap off your evening with the real "Mussels from Brussels": a steaming pot of moules-frites served with crispy fries. 

Any craft beer lover would be hopping mad to miss this strictly once-a-year event. Spaces on our bus will fill up fast, and the first 22 seats reserved will be offered with an exclusive early bird discount.
