Little Eaton, England

Apart from its architectural and historical legacy, Ghent (or Gent), an vibrant city in Belgium, has a very strong craft beer scene. Creative breweries push the envelope of brewing and various classic Belgian beer bars call the city home. A must-see is DOK Brewing Company, a contemporary brewery built in a converted industrial area with an often changing selection of beers including imperial stout and experimental IPAs. Gentse Gruut Brewery, which offers a unique tasting experience by using herbs instead of hops, revitalises mediaeval brewing technique. Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant is a great place for beer lovers in a more conventional setting, as it offers a large beer list with more than 160 varieties located along the gorgeous Ghent canals.

Beyond its craft beer selection, Ghent is a city rich in history with striking mediaeval architecture and active cultural scene. With its fascinating background and museum of mediaeval torture devices, the famous Gravensteen Castle is a window into the past. Architectural wonders that define the skyline and evidence of Ghent's rich legacy are the three towers of St. Bavo's Cathedral, St. Nicholas' Church and the Belfry. Further providing cultural and gastronomic experiences are the Vooruit Arts Centre and the Holy Food Market, which make Ghent a city where the past meets the present in harmony. Ghent offers an amazing experience whether your trip is for the beer or the culture.
