My wife and I went there; she wanted chocolate, and I wanted beer. In the end, we were both happy. I liked that they don’t rush you through the tour; you can sit back, take your time, smell the aromas, and taste the drinks. The whiskey was surprisingly good, even though I don’t usually drink it. In short, if you’re in Brussels—go for it; you won’t regret it.
