If Belgium makes a strong case for being "beer heaven", then England would have to be pub heaven. From your first beer in Brussels until the last in London, you will experience a wide variety of classic breweries and their great beers in optimum condition. Three nights in Brugge, an overnight pilgrimage to an English Country Inn in the Cotswolds, and three nights in London offer a variety of great beer, cozy cafes and pubs, and cultural experiences. There is time to explore on your own and take in each country's rich history and culture as well. Several great meals, visits to unique and historic breweries, transportation by rail, private coach and public means, fine hotels in great locations and more are built in to this trip.
