History of " House Brewery `t Pakhuis"
The building, where "House Brewery
' t Pakhuis" is located, consists already since 1850. At this time it was used
as a warehouse near by the port in the South of Antwerp, until this port was
closed in the middle of the last century. In 1996 some people had the idea to
again transform this complex into something single and splendid. And how they
are successful about it! "House Brewery ' t Pakhuis" is the first and the only
house brewery in Antwerp! The brewery is really the heart of the business; the
visitor drinks only freshly brewed beer! The principle of the concept results
in fact of wisdom and competence from 14 generations from brewers at Brasserie
Sterkens in Hoogstraten. They linked this know-how in SBM of Saint Sebastiaan
Belgian Microbrewery, which is responsible for the installation of the micro-breweries
around the world. Great success is probably due to the quality of a fresh and
natural product and with the single possibility offered to the visitor to follow,
of everywhere in the business, the phases different from the process of mixing.
You can also obtain a word of explanation of the Master brewer himself. It is
as essential as you will not find the house beers nowhere elsewhere. Very short,
each visitor grows rich with a delicious experiment!
