About Brussels Beer Museum & Delirium Café
Belgium's extraordinary beer culture on full display: the Brussels Beer Museum on the Grand-Place and the legendary Delirium Café, holder of the Guinness World Record for the most beer brands available, with over 3,000 types.
Belgium's relationship with beer is one of the most complex, diverse, and culturally embedded in the world. The country produces over 1,500 different beer varieties across every conceivable style, from world-famous Trappist ales brewed by monks to spontaneously fermented lambics, gueuze, and kriek, to refreshing witbiers and full-flavoured saisons. Belgian beer culture was declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016.
The Brussels Beer Museum in a guild house on the Grand-Place provides an excellent interactive introduction to Belgian beer history and styles. But the most legendary single destination for beer in Brussels is the Delirium Café on the Impasse de la Fidélité, a narrow alley just off the Grand-Place, which has held the Guinness World Record for the most beer brands available since 2004, with over 3,000 different beers on the menu at any time. The bar's mascot is the pink elephant of Delirium Tremens, one of Belgium's most celebrated strong ales.
