There are two things that most dads, for some reason, just love: explaining how things work… and giving advice, even when nobody’s asked for it. And to be honest, that’s exactly why I suddenly realized that a brewery & distillery is almost the perfect place for Father’s Day. Because as soon as the conversation turns to how whisky is made, why one spirit tastes smoother than another, or what actually happens during the distilling process suddenly every father has an opinion. W

Brussels is famous for its beer, but finding a place where the beer its actually brewed is a different story. If you find yourself thinking to yourself ''where are the best breweries near me'' while wandering around the city, you will quickly notice that while there are plenty of great bars, the craft brewery scene is actually much smaller than you might expect. Hidden Gems in Brussels That makes the places that exist more interesting. You are not walking into a chain or a to

When people search for things to do in Brussels, they’ll usually end up around Grand Place and the historic centre. If you’d rather go somewhere more local and authentic, that still has plenty of places to visit, you should check out Brussels North. From iconic landmarks to beautiful parks, chocolate museums, craft breweries and distilleries, Brussels North has a lot to offer, whether you’re visiting just for the weekend or living here and looking for something different. H

This may sound strange, especially since I work at a brewery and distillery in Brussels and drink beer regularly, but I’ve never actually been to a beer festival in Belgium or elsewhere. I’ve always talked about going to one with my friends but we’ve never had the chance to. That’s finally changing because the Tipsy Tribe is going to be a guest at Ostara craft beer fest, to be pouring beer amongst some of the best Belgian breweries. Learning About Beer (Without Pretending I K

Ideas for Valentine’s Day in Brussels doesn’t have to be all candlelight dinners and clichés. Discover a unique local experience with craft beer and chocolate in 2026. I've been here in Brussels for about four months now, and I'm still amazed at how surprising this city can be.

Tips and tricks on how to succeed this dry January, a month with no alcohol

Christmas is approaching and people in Brussels are looking for the perfect gift idea to bring a smile to someone's face, often looking for original ideas that are cool, ethically responsible and ecological. One of the best places to find such gifts are real micro breweries and distilleries (not to be confused with brands that don’t actually produce their own beers or spirits). And at Tipsy Tribe, you have quite a few options. Here’s some awesome ideas you can propose for yo

Fresh off the back of Bière à Lille (BAL) festival we share our experience in our very first international beer festival as a micro brewery in Brussels, Belgium.

As a long-time expat in Brussels (nearly 25 years!), I systematically forget about ‘America-only’ holidays like Presidents’ Day, Columbus Day etc – EXCEPT for the last Thursday in November which is American Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Turkey-day, and forever ingrained in my memories of childhood growing up in California. As the name implies, the theme of the Thanksgiving holiday generally revolves around coming together and giving thanks, with the centerpiece of most cel

When I moved to Brussels a few months ago as an Erasmus student, one of the first things that I found fascinating was the beer culture in Belgium. It’s not just a drink, it’s part of their everyday life, something people take time to enjoy and understand. Little by little, I started learning how to really taste it. First, you look at the color, the foam, the way the light hits the glass. Every detail says something about what’s to come. Then you smell hops, malt, fruit, mayb

Working in a Belgian brewery and distillery means also discovering the fascinating world of beer cocktails as described in this part of our tipsy beer chronicles!

I never thought I'd be a gin girl but here I am, deep into my 30s and writing a blog about my new found love for this magical drink. Maybe it's because I've bid farewell to my era of drinking cheap alcohol, or maybe because I'm no longer in university and now have friends who can afford the top shelf bottles. Either way, high quality gin has been one of my favorite spirits in recent years. Be it a classic G&T or a basil smash, a refreshing summer cocktail or a cozy winter ape

Today is Earth Day, a day dedicated to reflecting, educating, and exploring ways to protect the environment. Today more than ever, it is important for businesses to take accountability and actively work on reducing their carbon footprint, it’s one of the reasons why I decided to join Tipsy Tribe. When looking for a company for my end-of-studies internship, it was important for me to choose one that placed sustainability as one of their main values. Solar panels on the roof o

One of my favorite types of events at Tipsy Tribe are stag dos – aka bachelor parties (shout out to bachelorette / hen dos who are also awesome but don't frequent us as much as the guys... so for this blog I'm going to specifically write about the boys.) Unlike the ladies, who often make the bride-to-be look like a princess (stash, tiaras etc), guys tend to make the future groom wear hilarious outfits to embarrass him. Right from the mood is light, fun and positive. And no

You might have heard about Brussels’s one and only Brewery and Distillery, house of the first-ever whiskey made in town, etc. But Tipsy Tribe is so much more! It’s a place where people come to spend a great time with their friends and make memories they’ll never forget. Now, what’s a better way to spend your evening than joining us for a Pub Quiz ?
