99% sure I making the trip to these three cities mid-May. Wanted advice on where to drink, what to drink, and just cool places not to miss out on. Also, any offers on tour guides?
For Berlin, you'll want to search the Germany forum for the excellent, informative posts from@gavinbrooksbank. Here's a great example: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/another-berlin-trip.611647/#post-6464773
Not tour guides, but my favorite places Berlin and Prague www.BeerGuidePRG.com www.BeerGuideBER.com In both you'll have a wide choice of "tradition" and "modern" styles, though the bulk of the newer breweries in/around Berlin tend to do "modern" stuff but you can find outlets for beers brewed all over Germany. (By "modern" I mean what people might call "craft" elsewhere: IPAs, pastry stouts, fruity kettle sours, etc)
Obviously, Cantillon in Brussels. The only lambic brewery in the city. Definitely do the tour. Just FYI, after the tour, once your tour time is over, they stop serving which was a bummer as I as trying to get one more beer. The larger the group, the more beer you will get to try as lambics are bottle conditioned. They have about 4-5 on draft only. I would check out Bruges in Belgium. They have 2 breweries and an awesome belgian craft beer bar, Red Rose Cafe worth checking out. I'm going to Prague next week, but I've been following "Honest Guide" on YouTube. Some young guy going around his hometown give tips of Prague. He mentions several beer bars to go to in Prague and outside the city.
I am in Prague right now. I have posted a number of "trip reports" in a lager thread that you can read: https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...-in-the-u-s-anyway.622389/page-6#post-6633284 Cheers!

Brasserie Cantillon Brasserie de l'Ermitage 3 Fonteinen Lambik-o-droom Beer Bars: Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Booze N' Blues Bottle Shop: Beer Planet Food: Peck 47, Nüetnigenough, Fin De Siecle. Pistolet has a special bottle of Cantillon you can only get & drink there. They also have a special version of De La Senne Teras Boulba you can take to go.
Drink Drunk Berlin, open 24 hours so you can always get a good drink. Plus, it's near Burgermeister if burgers are your thing.
