Awards

In 2009, viewers of the TV show Vlaanderen Vakantieland voted Kurt and Yves “Strafste Cafébaas” (roughly, “Flanders’ most remarkable pub landlords”). The competition was organised by Tourism Flanders and the VRT. At the same time, the inn itself won the title of “Strafste Café van Vlaanderen”, because out of all the cafés in the four categories, the Eizeringen inn achieved the highest score.                                                               

In January 2017, the café was named “Best Beer Bar in Belgium” for the third consecutive time. The inn again finished second on RateBeer’s list of the best beer destinations in the world, just after the restaurant Akkurat in Stockholm. As a result, the café was once again crowned “Best Beer Bar in the World.” 

RateBeer is one of the most important international beer websites. Beer lovers from all over the world rate cafés, beer restaurants, brewery pubs and breweries there.

In 2009, “In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst” broke into the top 20 of the best beer destinations in the world. On 14 November 2014, the café reached second place in this global ranking. For ten years – until RateBeer ceased to exist – the Eizeringen café remained, without a single interruption, right at the top of the list of the “best cafés in the world.” Between 2017 and 2020, the inn was even named “Best Beer Destination in the World” three years in a row.
