TOURS & TASTINGS
Come discover how brewing our beer is more than throwing four ingredients together on our tours! Based on the pillars of transparency, education and experiment, we brew in addition to delicious beer a philosophy and vision that goes far wider and more ambitious than the Belgian (beer) borders!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Can the tour take place at a different time from the slots listed above?
No. We allow tours to start at 11:30, 14:30 or 17:30. This is due to our own work schedules, the capacity of the bar and kitchen and the guarantee that we can offer three slots for tours on most days. Moving it up or down half an hour is also unfortunately not an option.
- Can our children and/or dogs come along on the tour?
No. This is an activity for adults (16+, the legal drinking age for beer in Belgium). However, both (children and doggies) are certainly welcome in the taproom, but the tour and tasting are not for them :) Each participant (in the full group) must therefore be over 16 years old. Children and dogs are not allowed in the brewery, nor at the table during the tastings.
​
- Can special dietary conditions or allergies be taken into account during lunch or dinner?
Special dietary requirements such as vegetarian, or allergies such as lactose intolerance, gluten-free, ... can certainly be taken into account, but it is always best to let us know in advance.
​
- Can we book a tour on Saturday or Sunday evening?
No. We do not do tours on Saturday or Sunday evenings. Small groups or individuals can join the 14:30 open tour on Saturday, Private groups on Saturday and Sunday can only request the Lunch formula. So please only request tours on the available dates noted above.
- Can I book tours more than four months in advance?
No, we never book tours further than four months in the future.
There are many reasons for this: (private) events may go through on in the hall, timetables change, prices adjusted, staff changes, ... So please only make requests for tours on the available dates above.
- There are people with us who do not drink alcohol, can they have something else?
Of course, alternative drinks such as non-alcoholic beer, homemade kombucha, kefir, other soft drinks or just (sparkling) water can be provided for participants who do not drink alcohol. This is included in the price and does not need to be communicated in advance.
​
- There are people with us who don't like beer, can they have something else?
We will let people who "don't like beer" taste it anyway. Other alcoholic drinks such as wine or cava are not included in the price.
(Also, when visiting a vineyard in France or Italy, try saying ‘I don't like wine’ and see what happens ;) ).
