Tip: Open from 11:00 daily; the terrace fills by mid-afternoon on sunny days.
Het Trappistenhuis is a brown beer cafe south of the city centre run by a beer expert, with over 170 Belgian specialties anchored on the full Trappist lineup.
Tip: Westvleteren XII is on the menu when stocks allow: ask the bar staff what is in the cellar that week before ordering.
The Gruut brewery terrace by the Reep canal is one of the most relaxed afternoon beer destinations in Ghent. All five house beers are available; the tasting.
Tip: Friday and Saturday evenings the terrace stays open until 23:00; other days it closes at 18:00.
Gruut is Ghent's own city brewery, producing five herb beers from a medieval recipe that has never used a single hop. Instead, a blend of herbs.
Tip: Saturday brewery tours include all five house beers; book ahead in summer. The taproom serves all five on draught daily.
Dok Brewing occupies the converted Hal 16 metal workshop at Dok Noord with 30 taps: house brews alongside Belgian craft guest beers. The long communal.

Stroom was started by a Belgian-American duo bridging traditional Belgian brewing with American craft influence; the Forelstraat taproom opens Fridays.
Tip: Tours available at weekends; the taproom on Friday evenings is one of Dok Noord's most casual craft beer experiences.
