BAR&KIOSK
MALZ is a craftbeer bar & kiosk in the center of Leuven. With our 12 beers on draft & a selection of over 300 beers in bottles & cans we're one of the beer hotspots the city has to offer.
MALZ received the silver medal in 2022, the gold medal in 2023 & the bronze medal in 2024 & 2025 in the category "best beer bar in Belgium" at the Beer Awards Digital Festival.
The focus of MALZ is craftbeer from all over the world: small & independent breweries making their own beers. We've got the largest selection of fine ciders & meads in town & offer a selection of Belgian (natural) wines.
MALZ is both a bar & a kiosk. Experience our large selection in our modern but cosy bar or enjoy some drinks on our quiet terrace.
No time to hang around? Or looking for a delicious present? We've got you covered! Take a look in our fridges or on the shelves against the windows. Everything on our menu is ready to be served or to take home. We use discounted prices for take-away.

RESERVE A TABLE
We only accept reservations for groups of 6 or more people.
We welcome smaller groups to just come by & grab a table. During busy moments, mostly on friday evenings, we help you as best as possible. You might have to wait at the bar for the first drink.
Due to the smaller living room vibe of MALZ, reservations for groups larger than 15 people are not possible.
GUIDED TASTINGS
Teambuilding, birthday or stag party? Book your guided tasting with us!
Tastings are available for groups from 8 to 16 people & can be organized during weekdays between 10h & 22h.
Tastings are available in Dutch & English.
During such a tasting we serve you four different beers (15cl), accompanied by a small bite. We walk through the entire beer landscape in two hours, jump from style to style & combine flavours with each other.
This beer & food tasting costs €36 p.p.
You can also opt for a tasting without the bites - €24 p.p.
