The best beer bars Tournai

While brewing at Deca's Woeste facility until 2005, Nino Bacelle and Guido Devos then crossed the language border to establish their facilities in Dottignies, near Mouscron. At De Ranke, the importance of hops is not negligible. Hop extracts are out of the question. Here, we use real hop cones from Poperinge and Warneton. Their reputation is well established, and in their tap room you can try out their XX Bitter, Noir de Dottignies or Guldenberg, a typical abbey beer.

A real festive institution in Tournai, Le Bouchon is a cult for the passion it puts into beer more than for the number of labels on the menu. Local or artisanal breweries are honored, from Hainaut or elsewhere: Cazeau, Dupont, Dubuisson, de la Senne, Boon, Cantillon... A beer is more specifically highlighted each week. A small stage allows various musical groups to perform in an indescribable good mood.

The atmosphere is festive and sometimes a little crazy, with an old-fashioned café decor, wooden tables and stools, and enamel plates that evoke beer. One of the 70 beers on the menu is highlighted every month. A must-visit establishment in the upper town for a good froth, alone or to share, as the "social" beers (75 cl) are well represented. Local cuisine on Thursday lunchtimes and themed evenings once a month, including some small acoustic concerts. Nice terrace in summer.
