Brugs Beer Museum, Beer museum in Bruges, Belgium.
The Brugs Beer Museum occupies a historic building on Breidelstraat and presents interactive exhibits that explore the traditional brewing process and ingredients used in Belgian beer production.
The post office on the corner of Grote Markt and Breidelstraat was designed by Louis Delacenserie and opened in 1891, before the adjacent Provinciaal Hof was completed after World War I. Its upper floors later held the city archives and federal services. The non-profit Biermuseum Brugge was founded on 22 May 2013, and the museum opened to the public on 19 July 2014.
Beer holds deep importance in Belgian society, and this museum showcases the traditions of Trappist and abbey brewing that have shaped the country's celebrated beer heritage.
The museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM at Breidelstraat 3 in postal code 8000 Bruges, though the historic building is not wheelchair accessible.
The museum opened on 19 July 2014, after the vzw Biermuseum Brugge was founded on 22 May 2013 by Emmanuel Maertens, Thibault Bekaert and Dominique Laloo. It occupies the upper floors of the 1891 post office, a building designed by Louis Delacenserie alongside the Provinciaal Hof. Look up at the facade for the metal letters reading "POSTERIJEN".
