Brussels Museum van de Geuze, Traditional brewery museum in Brussels, Belgium
Description
The Museum van de Geuze is a working brewery in Anderlecht with exhibition areas that demonstrate how Belgian lambic beer is made. The facility preserves traditional equipment and spaces where wild-fermented beer is produced using methods unchanged for generations.
History
The building started as a brewery in 1900 and was converted into a museum in 1978 while keeping original equipment and methods intact. This transformation made it one of the few places where lambic brewing continues in its original form.
Culture
The place demonstrates lambic brewing as a living tradition rooted in Brussels, where the process remains tied to local pride and family heritage. Visitors witness active production and understand how this fermentation style shaped Belgian beer identity.
Practical
Visitors can watch the active production during tours and taste beers afterward. Comfortable shoes are useful since you will walk through multiple rooms and stairs to follow the brewing process.
Did you know?
The museum uses wild yeast strains from Brussels air to ferment its lambic beers, a practice tracing back thousands of years. This natural fermentation makes each batch unpredictable and shows how deeply the place is tied to its surroundings.
