Discover brewing culture in and around Lille

The flagship product of northern France, beer has been an integral part of the region’s culture for several centuries. Thanks to its geographical location, Lille’s bars, breweries and taprooms benefit from Franco-Belgian know-how. You’ll find a wide choice of beers, whether blond, amber, brown, with or without alcohol, cloudy, fruity, hopped, etc.

Visit a brasserie

Stepping through the doors of a brewery, be it artisanal, family-run, modest or colossal, is an experience to be had at least once.

The “Héritage Bière” label recognizes establishments offering tourist activities based around their production. In addition to a visit, you can discover food and beer pairings, take part in tasting sessions, escape games… and find out everything there is to know about beer.

The Brewery Tourism Map lists the breweries in Lille and its metropolitan area, along with the various tourist experiences available.
