My first trip to the great Belgian bierlands of Flanders was in 1984, 42 years ago now. Now, join me as I return under the flag of the mighty @roadsandkingdoms, flanked by the supreme host @eugeniosignoroni and Blackberry Farm brewery co-founder @rmilnerbeer and we go ALL THE WAY THERE on the ultimate trip to Belgium, November 9 - 15th.

What is best in life? To charge your horse at the shrimps in the blue-gray surf, see them driven before you, scoop them up and lay them before the great chef @willemhiele and watch them transformed into the dish of a lifetime

Ensconced behind the imposing Dune-like Brutalist masterpiece that is @restaurant_willemhiele, gaze towards the sea….

The very finest on earth….

Join the great master of lambic brewing Jean Van Roy of @brasseriecantillonofficiel as he takes you on a journey through his finest cuvées

Ancient treasures, hidden from public view, shall be yours…

Behold the wonders of the most complex beer in the world….

You shall be led far deeper into the mysteries of the Trappist breweries than you have ever been allowed before…doors previously closed shall open before you….

Thine host

Eight days in Beijing, Part Two! This was my third time there, and this trip had the best food I’ve had in Beijing so far. What’s pretty funny/weird is that some people thought I’d treated my voiceover with an AI “Bourdainerizer”, but nope - just me (and years of Tony inside my head). You should hear my David Attenborough! 😂 by @igarrettoliver

Many were raptured this last weekend at the full-on bacchanal that is the spectacularly odd but endearing @carnivalebrettanomyces. An amazing program of talks and tastings and a general air of “anything could happen and it will all be nice”. Thanks to Jan, Siebrand, Baas, and the entire Carnivale crew for the kind invitation and warm welcome. Special mention to @theyeastdaddy for keeping things spicy. I have seen the Everlasting Light 🙌🏾 by @igarrettoliver

This just in from the rooftop gardens of Brooklyn, where legendary brewmaster Garrett Oliver (@igarrettoliver) tells a tale of an expedition deep into the holy Belgian beerlands.

This fall, Garrett will be leading the beer pilgrimage to end all beer pilgrimages, together with two of the world’s leading experts on beer in all its gastronomic dimensions—celebrated Italian culinary writer Eugenio Signoroni (@eugeniosignoroni) and Roy Milner (@rmilnerbeer), founder of Blackberry Farm Brewery (@thebarnatblackberryfarm).

Running Nov 9-15, 2026, this rare journey takes us from the wild yeast of Pajottenland’s farm breweries to the spectacle of Flemish horse-shrimping to the holy sanctum of Orval Abbey and beyond. We’ll also stay for two nights at the extraordinary restaurant and guesthouse @willemhiele (currently number 62 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list), housed in a brutalist masterpiece by Jacques Moeschal in the middle of a nature reserve.

And yes, in case you were wondering, Garrett is indeed an Enthroned Knight of The Brewer’s Fork of Belgium, so we will be crossing thresholds off limits to mere mortals. This is truly a trip unlike anything else out there. Spots are limited.

Oostduinkerke, a village on the southwest coast of Belgium, is the last place on earth where the practice of horseback shrimp-fishing still goes on as it has for centuries.

Known locally as paardenvissers, a tight-knit group of just a dozen or so households still take their Brabant horses into the shallow waters of West Flanders for three hours around low tide. The horses wade chest-deep parallel to the shoreline, dragging chains along the seabed to startle local brown shrimp up into funnel-shaped nets.

On day four of our journey through Belgium, we will witness this disappearing tradition with Willem Hiele (@willemhiele), one of Europe’s most fascinating chefs, whose eponymous restaurant and guesthouse (where we’ll spend two glorious nights) is currently number 62 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

The Holy Belgian Beerlands runs Nov 9-14, 2026, led by three of the world’s leading experts on beer—legendary brewmaster Garrett Oliver (@igarrettoliver), celebrated food writer Eugenio Signoroni (@eugeniosignoroni) and Roy Milner (@rmilnerbeer) of Blackberry Farm Brewery (@thebarnatblackberryfarm).
