Brewers House

Fodor's Review:

In the 16th century, the original brewers' guild headquarters was on the Grand'Place in Den Gulden Boom; nowadays, the Belgian Brewers Association's home is in an 18th-century mansion on the same square. The upper floors are closed to the public, but in the cellar you'll find a small museum containing tools from the original Hoegaarden brewery as well as a high-tech video installation in four languages that provides an excellent overview of the brewing process. The entrance fee includes a glass of beer, which changes every week.
