You can absolutely find something for everyone as the beers are identified from several regions throughout the world. In addition to the awesome beer, they have a single food item; nachos.

They have a concept that has been seen in wine bars for…read moresome time whereby there are numerous machines for self serving and one pays by having a card pre-charged with money tapped at the machine. Here the focus is on beer and while I love the concept the execution could be better. There are two lists available of the beers, one in a printed a menu and one above all the taps. These two differ a bit as the printed one does not seem up-to-date but what also was surprising was that the one written above the taps proved to be somewhat incorrect. Then it come to a few of the tapa being empty as well as a few having non-functioning screens (where both what is in it and the price is displayed). So while the concept is nice it is not really greatly executed. The staff where also pretty clueless so no point in asking the about the beers. Still if you are in Tilburg it can be a fun way to try some different beers and as it is possible to just have a sip it is a good way to sample a lot. The space is also nicely designed and comfortable to sit at. The outdoor terrace also has some heating so fine even in fall.

Having left my hometown Hasselt 50 years ago, I was ready to go back to my roots but needed a place…read moreto stay. I decided on Hemelhuys, a little gem tucked away on a pedestrian street, a stone-throw away from Hasselt's serene cathedral, St. Quintinus, and close to the town's fancy stores and great restaurants. This quaint, welcoming boutique hotel has eight spacious rooms combining modern-day comfort with old-fashioned charm. These tastefully renovated units are spread over two old stone houses connected by a small but lush garden. The short walk through this pretty garden is aptly names Chemin du Bonheur. Both owners, Ann and Liesbeth, blend discreet elegance with genuine small-town warmth, and go out of their way to make guests feel at home. And, just like the owners, the young staff is very attentive to the guests' needs and, in addition, smiles a lot -- a pleasant touch that augments one's enjoyment of the place. Breakfasts are most inviting: a selection of assorted fresh breads and bakery products, home-made jams, cheeses, fresh fruit and, for hungrier people, a variety of egg dishes. Location + charm + service + comfort + caring owners + friendly staff = compelling combination to embrace Hemelhuys, a delightful hotel of superb taste in a town that prides itself on being Hoofdstad van de Smaak (Capital of Good Taste).

I will have to lie but I'd guess they serve about 400 different beers, mostly all Belgian. So if you want to try out some Belgian beers or just want to get drunk, and you are in the neighborhood this is the place to go. (Delirium, Kwak, Karmeliet,.. being my personal favorite ones) On the down side, the service sometimes can be sloppy and you will have to wait longer than at most pubs. But all these different beers are well worth the wait!

The tasting room and restaurant is well situated in a lovely setting. Sadly we weren't able to book the tour but came for lunch and the beer. Had their tripel and it was very tasty. Had the hamburger and I wasn't sure what I was going to get or even why I ordered it, but I was somehow drawn to order this hamburger. I have had plenty of good and big hamburgers but I was shocked when this monster came out with a large beef patty in the middle with cheese and sauce dripping off it and the beef patty sitting on essentially a fresh mixed vegetable salad and all housed in a very nice bun. It was a small struggle to eat but very much worth the work as this masterpiece was delicious. Local grown beef and vegetables. Easily one of my favorite hamburgers. Service was helpful navigating the menu and options. Highly recommend for both the food and beer!

The monastery has a pub on-site that not only provides a bevvy of delicious beers, made on the grounds of this fine religious institution but provides a variety of local and organically sourced meals. I had the local food sampler that was just lovely and besides beer they also make bread, butter and cheese. The beef is from local cows, managed by the institute and the chickens are from a local provider. I can only imagine whiling away an afternoon on a warm summer's day, in the large outside seating area but on a cold November day, the inside seating was just fine. I wasn't able to do the tour but if you are visiting Tilburg then try and get in a tour of the brewing facilities. Oh, and you can easily bike from Tilburg or, if I remember correctly, catch the 141 bus from the central train station. The buses seem to run about every hour so take that into account and on your way out, stop in the gift shop to pick up a few reminders of your visit. I hope to someday come back, lovely experience! :-)

Was SUPER excited to go to Kulminator on my recent trip to Belgium. Have heard wonderful things…read moreabout the vast beer list, full of old vintages. Sadly it seems, the owner does not like business or money. Or perhaps he just enjoys treating Kulminator as his own private club, as opposed to a normal beer bar where everyone is welcome. The owner greeted us at the door, asking us why we wished to come in and we were denied entry upon our response. We later found out that if you do not give the very specific response of "being there to TASTE (not drink) beer", you are turned away. Pompous, and absolutely ridiculous. I have no interest in trying to go back.

I was very hesitant about visiting Kulminator as its fame and reputation far precedes it, having…read morewon accolades such as "the best place in the world to have a beer" and also known to have one of the most extensive collections of aged Belgian beers in the world. During the planning stages of my trip, a lot of the feedback I got regarding this place was that I should brace for some unparalleled (lack of) service, humongous wait times in between orders, and last minute changes to opening hours. If you haven't guessed it already, I was lucky enough not to experience any of the negative feedback enumerated above, and instead had such a great time that I somehow got back to my room in Brussels without a train ticket and don't quite remember how I managed such a feat. I got to Kulminator about 15 minutes after they opened at 4:15pm and the establishment was already half-full. Despite reviews saying that this place is super cramped and cozy, the interior is actually pretty spacious with seating available at the bar, behind it, and even across from it where two tables are partitioned off kind of like a small lounge; I opted to sit in the lounge area as I was planning to be comfortable for quite some time. Leen served me for the entire evening and she was very kind and patient with all of my orders. Despite some of my orders being slightly obscure--like the oldest vintage they had of Oerbier Special Reserva, for example--all my orders got out to me under five minutes, even at 9pm when the bar was completely packed, thereby debunking the "slow and bad service" portion of my expectations. Whereas different groups of people did join me at my table for most of the night, most of them were locals popping in for a drink or two and all minded their own businesses unlike what people say about strange encounters here, but that suited me just fine for my purposes; I wanted to try some Belgian gems that aren't available anywhere on the planet, and I'm glad to say I was able to achieve said feat. I don't think I have to describe the atmosphere as it's been done in such vivid detail in so many of the other reviews (grandparents' house, etc.) but be sure to grab a bite to eat prior to visiting this place and not make the mistake of thinking drunk you will be sober enough to find something to eat after leaving this amazing Cafe; food options are limited if not non-existent, and Leen is busy enough as is keeping everyone happy. And yes, Dirk will stare you down if you do anything out of the ordinary like take pictures of the establishment, but he means well... I think.

We got: * A Drie Fonteinen geuze that was my favorite of the lot * A Vanmol Vuur "Raw Ale" which my wife said was one of her favorites of all time * a vintage Boon Oude Geuze The owner has to go fetch every bottle from the cellar; his mother helps him at the bar. 100% Worth the hassle.

It's kind of a small place, with maybe 10 tables, but the mirrored wall makes it look much bigger. We had eaten a little earlier in the day, but still had a touch of the munchies, so we ordered a charcuterie board and lobster bitterballen, along with a beer for him and a coke for me. There were several kinds of meat on the board, from salami to prosciutto. All were delicious, and all seemed to melt in your mouth. The lobster bitterballen were even better than the waygu beef bitterballen we had earlier!
