    Brewery tour

    Forty-five minutes through the brewhouse, past the malt mill, the mash tun and the open fermenters. With stories you won't hear anywhere else.

  2. The copper coolship under the roof

    The coolship

    The coolship dates from around 1900 and is still in use: every brew cools down here. There aren't many breweries left where you can still see that.

  3. Inside the Oerbar

    The Oerbar

    After the tour you taste three beers from the cask. Then you can order the whole range in our taproom, including Oeral, which you can only drink here.

  4. The terrace with yellow parasols

    The terrace

    In good weather you sit outside, between the old brewery buildings, with a De Dolle Brouwers beer in the sun.

Practical.
