In addition to photo shoots against the background of old houses on the Grand Place, contemplation of the Gothic City Hall and the search for a small, but very famous in tourist circles, the Manneken Pis fountain, the capital of Belgium is ready to offer its guests legendary beer, which was first brewed here in time immemorial. The most interesting pubs in Brussels are located close to the hiking trails. The authentic atmosphere of the beginning of the last century has been preserved there, the interiors are full of rarities, and the culture of serving the foamy drink pleasantly surprises even the representatives of the fair half of humanity.
All the salt is in nuances and traditions
In the historical center of the Belgian capital, there are many beer houses, where you can leisurely spend the whole day, watching the manipulations of the bartender and tasting the best varieties of the local lager:
- One of the oldest breweries in Brussels is located near the Central Station. The color and style of the pre-war era are successfully conveyed by interior items - columns and mirrors, small tables and antique chandeliers. The establishment is located at Montagne aux Herbes, 7 and is called A La Mort Subite. The brewery first opened in 1911.
- On the street leading from the Grand Place to the Bourse, you can enjoy a frothy drink at the Brewer's Guild Pub. This pub in Brussels is not easy to find - the entrance is located in a narrow alley between the houses.
- The Becasse Bar at 11 Taborastraat is made of wood, and lambic beers are served in antique earthenware jugs. This pub has been around since 1877, and its signature snack is cream cheese with radishes and rye bread.
Beer in most Belgian pubs is usually poured into different containers, depending on its type. The price of a small 200-gram glass of lager ranges from 1, 8 to 2, 5 euros, and for a portion of the legendary drink from the Trappist monks they will ask from 3, 5 to 6, 5 euros. Beers in Brussels are not cheap.
First-hand
The legendary brewery of the Belgian capital is located at 56 Cheude Street. It is called Cantillon and everyone who finds themselves within its walls rightly considers the establishment to be a time machine. In the tavern, the feeling of reality is completely lost, the noise of the city becomes inaudible, and the quality and freshness of the served beers are worthy of only enthusiastic epithets.
The pub in Brussels at the Cantillon Brewery is open from 10.00 to 18.00, and a detailed schedule and prices can be found on the website - www.cantillon.be.
