Jezza's Top Picks

My 'Top picks' are the outstanding beer places in Brugge at any given moment. Here you will normally find something exceptional or out of the ordinary - so a larger than average beer range; top quality service and a good ambience and/or surroundings. In short, these pubs will all be offering the best that can be found in the Brugge beer scene at the moment.

Jezza lives in London.. You can follow him on twitter as @bonsvoeux1 or read his twitter feed below

Note that we regularly update what constitutes a top pick so places can be relegated from the list if their beer range dips or there are other significant changes.
