My name is Lot, I am from Bruges and I studied in Ghent (a city as beautiful as Bruges). After graduating, I decided to move to Brussels to experience a more international and multicultural way of life. 6 years of living in Brussels have flown by and now I’m settled back in Ghent.In 2014, I launched one of Ghent’s first craft beers called Crabbelaer, which quickly grew in popularity as a much loved brew on the Belgian beer scene. 

In a traditionally male industry, I am one of the few women with deep knowledge about the amazing world of Belgian beer.

But it only really started to itch when I realised that I wanted to share my passion for beer and Belgian culture with a much broader audience than just bars, restaurants and beer-colleagues. I made my decision: I would use my knowledge to inspire all beer lovers out there! From tourists to anyone who wants to participate in fun group activities. Thus, in 2016 Belgiumbeerdays was born, which in 2020 changed into BeerSecret.  

“There’s nothing I love more than to talk about the city, our culture and history of Belgian beers, so much so that I made it my full-time job and life’s work! Join me at one of our beer or brewery tours and together we’ll discover your favourite Belgian beer!”

Come at the start of your trip and I’ll share all the insider tips on what to see and do in Brussels, Bruges, Ghent and beyond.

• Discover what’s so unique about the Belgian beer culture (no matter your previous beer tasting experience!)
• Get answers to your long-lasting beer questions: yes, we work in a very engaging way!
• The large variety of flavors and beer styles. Perhaps you’ll uncover a new favorite taste?

No! Sometimes, someone just joins our tour to please someone else: husband, wife, or friend. But by the end of the tour, these people are always blown away by how much they like a particular beer. And that’s why I host these tours. To open your mind to our fantastic beers.

In 2021, I was the moderator of the Toer de Geuze Online Edition.

Because of Covid restrictions, we couldn’t host the event live. But with a small camera crew, we went out to all the lambic and gueuze brewers to hear their fascinating stories.

It became an educational week full of interviews, storytelling and tastings.

For the livestream, I was asked to host the event. For those who are interested, you can find the live recordings on www.toerdegeuze.be

Toer de Geuze is a bi-annual beer event, organized by Horal where all the lambic brewers and geuze brewers open their doors to the public. Beer lovers from all over the world come to our beautiful Zennevallei region during this event. 
A collaboration with Visit Flanders.
