Het Anker Brewery Tour
Join the American Club of Brussels for a tour of one of the oldest breweries in Belgium - the Het Anker Brewery in Mechelen. Founded in 1471 by a community of Beguines, Het Anker is an internationally noted brewery. It uses traditional recipes as the foundation of its brewing process and a variety of hops and herbs give their beers that characteristic taste and aroma. The brewery’s Gouden Carolus Tripel and Gouden Carolus Classic have won the World Beer Awards Best Belgian Style Tripel Pale Beer and Best Dark Beer in 2012. Come and see how these beers are made and taste for yourself!
The visit begins at 10:00 a.m. with a one and half hour tour of the brewery combined with a tasting. The tour is followed by a three course lunch in the brasserie. Beverages are not included in the price as they are at the discretion of the diner and there is a special kids menu available as well. Children and families are welcome. The visit is a great way to spend a Sunday for fans of history and/or beer!
Please note that the tour is limited to 25 people.
