A piece of Antwerp history
Did you know that Seefbier has been around since about 1600? After the First World War, the beer (and the recipe) disappeared from the city scene. Until 2008, when Johan Van Dyck stumbled upon the name “Seefbier” in a book about lost urban breweries. After a 3-year search, he found the original recipe with the necessary help, and revived the famous and historic Antwerp beer. Together with his wife, he now runs the local and independent brewery the Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie. Nice fact: in 2012 Seef got the stamp of official city beer.
Visit an operating brewery
What is the best thing about the Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie? It is an active brewery, and you can discover all about it during a guided brewery visit! Learn how all your favourite beers are made - from hoppy IPAs to strong blonde beers - and discover everything about the work in the brewery. Would you rather see everything on your own? The brewery-café and the site are always accessible without a reserved tour. Don’t hesitate to sample the beers. Perhaps make sure to come by public transport?
BBQ in the Biergarten
What’s better together than beer and barbecue? Come to the brewery site and enjoy a blissful summer evening with friends or family.
