Visiting the brewery

After last year’s successful edition, we are once again opening the doors of our brewery.

On Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September 2026, we will welcome visitors during our Open Brewery Days. This year, the visit will have an extra festive touch as we put 100 years of Westmalle Dubbel in the spotlight.

During the visit, you will discover our brewery from the inside and follow the brewing process from malt to bottle. We will round off the visit with a tasting, and every visitor will take home an exclusive gift.
