Fabulous, friendly brewery tour and tasty beer
We had a fabulous time! We wanted to go to the brewery and they only had a Dutch tour available. So, of course, speaking no Dutch, we signed right up! Then when we got there, Yves offered us a private tour in English. Wonderful! Yves and his colleague were friendly, knowledgeable and just a nice guy to be around The tour was informative and the beer was tasty. Highly recommend!
