Did You Overpay for a Beer in Bruges?

Beer in Bruges costs €3.50–5.00 at local bars — Belgium's beer capital offers incredible variety with UNESCO-recognized beer culture. De Halve Maan brewery in the city center brews Brugse Zot (Bruges Fool) — cheapest when bought at their on-site bar and perhaps the most authentic Bruges beer experience. Tourist pubs on Markt square charge €6–8 per glass, sometimes more for specialty beers. Belgium has 300+ breweries producing over 1,500 different beers — asking for a 'local' beer anywhere will get you something distinctive. Trappist beers (Westvleteren, Chimay, Orval) cost €5–8 in Bruges — expensive but these are among the world's most acclaimed beers. A beer tasting flight (4–6 beers) costs €12–20 at specialty bars. A night out with 4–5 quality Belgian beers costs €14–25 — remarkable value for world-class brewing.
