    Tour
    We went here sort of last minute and were asked if we wanted to do a tour. Of course we wanted that. The tour guide (Jan) was amazing guiding us and was super passionate about the job. At the end of the tour, we were able to taste two of their beers, which tasted great! Overall, worth to go to!

    Tour around one of Belgiums oldest brewries
    It’s a historic place and you get to se the true nature of the building but not the actual brewing process too much. The guide describes this in Flemish in-depth but then only skirts the subject in English so you don’t get a full understanding unless you speak Dutch. Was a good couple of hours and I’d recommend it but read up first and then enjoy the free beer at the end. At this point they give you tasting tips which you will use for the rest of your live.
