Reply to "Best brewery tours in Belgium for beer lovers"

3. De Koninck, Antwerp

This might be one of Belgium's most accessible brewery tours, open between 10 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. daily except Monday.
Although this amber-colored ale has been brewed at Antwerp City Brewery since 1883, the brewery tour got a 21st-century upgrade after the brand was purchased by the Duvel Moortgat company in 2010.
The self-guided program (12 euros -- $14 -- per person, 75-90 minutes) walks visitors through 10 different rooms equipped with video and other interactive displays which explain the history of the brewery, its beers, and the importance of the bolleke (De Koninck's famous goblet-shaped glass).
The tour ends with a beer tasting, while the full portfolio of Duvel Moortgat's beers, including the golden Triple d'Anvers, is available at the on-site cash bar.
Beer, chocolates and cheese: The brewery also houses top-notch food shops where you can try handmade chocolates at Jitsk, Belgian cheeses at Van Tricht, and cured sausages at De Laet & Van Haver butchers.
