Bustlin' Brussels Beer Balade 1: Marius Renard to Timmermans Brewery

Bustlin' Brussels Beer Balade 1: Marius Renard to Timmermans Brewery Join us for a relaxed 5 km walk from Anderlecht to one of Belgium's historic lambic breweries. We'll meet at Marius Renard and make our way west through some of the greener, quieter parts of Brussels and its outskirts, heading toward the Pajottenland. It's an easy-paced walk with plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and chat along the way. I'm a fellow beer lover and walking enthusiast, and I'll be leading the walk and guiding everyone along the route. I've put the route together with the aim of finding a more scenic and enjoyable way to get from Brussels to the brewery, rather than simply taking the most direct route. Our destination is Timmermans Brewery, where we'll finish the walk with a few beers together. You don't need to be a serious hiker or a beer expert — just come ready to walk, explore a little, and enjoy a beer at the end. The details 📍 Meeting point: Marius Renard, 1070 Anderlecht 🕚 Meet: 10:45 AM 🚶 Walk starts: 11:00 AM 🥾 Distance: approximately 5 km ⏱️ Walking time: around 1½ hours 🚶 Pace: relaxed 🍺 Finish: Timmermans Brewery 🗓️ Day: Saturday, September 26th At Timmermans Once we arrive, we'll settle in for a few beers together at the brewery. Timmermans also offers a self-guided brewery tour, which is available as an optional extra. We'll see how everyone feels on the day and decide whether we'd like to do the tour together. The tour is paid separately. You can find the current tour options and prices on the Timmermans Brewery booking page. There's no set end time for the brewery stop, so you're welcome to stay for another beer, take the tour, or head home when you're ready. Everyone can make their own arrangements for getting back. The main event is the walk itself, but hopefully we'll have plenty of time at the brewery to enjoy some good beer and good company afterwards. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. The walk will go ahead unless conditions are particularly bad.
