"Huisbrouwerij 't Pakhuis" is the first and as yet only real craft brewery in Antwerp. The entire brewing process takes place "in-house". The equipment and production process are the same as in a "standard" brewery but the added bonus is that pub-goers can follow the entire process first-hand. It goes without saying that only the local beers brewed on site can be tasted. Among those we cite: "Antwerps Blond", "Antwerps Bruin" and "Nen Bangelijke".
't Pakhuis also offers an extensive menu, containing a variety of dishes prepared on the basis of the "home" brews. A must!
Beer tasting session
GROUPS: We offer a guided tour of the craft brewery, including a tasting session of 3 home brews ; for groups from 15 people ;; duration approximately 45 minutes. Visitors have the option to order a selection of appetizers during/after the tour (meatballs with 't Pakhuis mustard, salami, 't Pakhuis cheese and olives) or can decide to combine a visit with a meal (lunch, dinner, à la carte/set menu, buffet,...) on site. Please book beforehand.
INDIVIDUAL VISITORS: Every first Saturday of the month, at 3 p.m., we take visitors on a guided tour of the craft brewery, including a tasting session of 3 home brews. Please register in advance, by phone or e-mail (preferably no later than 3 working days in advance).
Menu / Dishes linked to the 'Best of Beer in Flanders' campaign
