Spent about 4.5 hours here, did a tour as well, drank about 15 bottles between us. Look, it's Cantillon, if you're here, you likely came here for a reason. It's awesome, go drink.

Because of the utter dysfunctionality of Brussels, I arrived late at Brasserie Cantillon, whose bar…read morecloses at 4 P.M. -- because beer drinking ends at 4 P.M., right? Drinking alcohol is an early daytime activity for most folks, isn't it? I got there at 4:12 P.M., when they wouldn't pour me a beer but were more than willing to sell me merchandise for another hour: CANTILLON GUY: "What do you want to buy?" ME: "The bar's closed? CANTILLON GUY: "We can't keep serving all day." ME: "So there's no way to get a beer?" CANTILLON GUY: "Get here earlier." ME: " ... " CANTILLON GUY: "So, what do you want?" ME: "I don't want anything." (Exit ME.) I get it -- there are lots of tourists, and there are times to close. Did I expect him to open the bar for just super-special me? No. Did I expect him to be maybe just a little bit less of a jerk, especially when he was simultaneously trying to pry my wallet open? It sure would've been nice.

Amazing piece of brew history!…read more During the tasting you will get insights into the story of De Koninick and its merge with Duvel (Heneiken tried as well). What has emerged is an on-site suite of local butcher, local cheeses, chocolates and great beer. There is a separate brewery tour which we have not taken yet; however, from a local museum tour, it will be a modest ticket for a great adventure. Cheers

De Konick Brewery was recommended to me by Antwerp locals I met in Baton Rouge. The best brewery…read moretour I've ever been to, out of several. Self guided tour concept is genius! The beer is delicious and the cheese platter is too. Souvenirs are priced for locals, unlike the inflated prices you find in downtown Brussels. I highly recommend to any American in search of good beer! Sincerely, AlsoABeerSnob

Outstanding beers!…read more Ole lady and I came here, was one of our first stops in Antwerp, recommended by the conceirge at our hotel and also discovered via yelp... We sat at the bar and all of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The beers were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the "Boot Je Bier". Liked them so much I lugged a couple all the way back to the U.S. I would say this is the best brewery in Antwerp.

There's a nice bar space and big tables (we played jenga for a while while drinking), and they have their own beers as well as a bunch of beers from other local craft breweries. I really enjoyed the Juice Rocket, it was a nice hazy IPA, and the Nitro Nemesis v2 collaboration beer they made with Brouwerij Kompaan. I'll be back here when I'm in town again.

From the owner: Alfa Bier is een onafhankelijke Limburgse bierbrouwerij en familiebedrijf, gevestigd in Thull,…read moreSchinnen, ook wel bekend als de poort van het Zuid-Limburgse Heuvelland. Al vijf generaties lang wordt hier bier gebrouwen door de familie Meens, op traditionele wijze en met oog voor kwaliteit. Wat Alfa Bier bijzonder maakt, is de combinatie van een traditionele brouwmethode volgens het Reinheitsgebot en het gebruik van natuurzuiver bronwater uit eigen bron. Alfa Bier vernieuwt regelmatig, maar de traditionele brouwmethode uit het oprichtingsjaar van de brouwerij is onveranderd gebleven. Bovendien is de Alfa Bierbrouwerij de enige brouwerij in Nederland met een door de overheid gecertificeerde natuurzuivere waterbron. Het bronwater vormt sinds 1870 de basis voor alle Alfa Bieren. Eén van de bekendste is het Alfa Edel Pils, dat internationaal werd bekroond als Beste Pils ter Wereld door World Beer Awards. Alfa Bier levert aan horecazaken en winkels, en verzorgt ook bierleveringen voor evenementen. Daarnaast zijn er volop mogelijkheden om de brouwerij te bezoeken. Er worden brouwerij rondleidingen en proeverijen georganiseerd. En in het Alfa Brouwerijcafé kunnen bezoekers in een gemoedelijke sfeer genieten van streekgerechten en natuurlijk een goed glas bier.

Stumbled upon this place randomly and stopped on by…read more Ended up reading a lot about it, and the more I read, the more I liked what I saw. It's kind of a workshare space for breweries. It was originally a Kickstarter type project, hence the name. And most, if not all, if their beers are collabs with other brewers. The space is cool. Tons of seating in the back, and some in the front. The beers I had were good, but not amazing. I had the Eternity (cucumber and juniper sour), the Dark Sister (black IPA), and the #EXP 0027 (tropical session). They also do growlers, beers to go, and sell a ton of merch. Stop on by if you're in the neighborhood!

They offer an extensive selection of beers: Pilsner, Blinde Ale, Belgian Tripel, Porter, Stout, Pale Ale, Bock, Lager and several different IPA's. When it's busy it can take some time to get your beer, so plan ahead - know what you want and order in advance before you have an empty glass. Also, this is a popular place and it gets very loud inside. Prepare to talk/shout to be heard! Nice atmosphere here - I will definitely be back.
