At that time, the brewery played such an important role in the town, the family Bosteels were such influential people that we are not surprised that 3 of the 7 generations have been Town Mayors.

- Susan S5 contributionsFabulous, friendly brewery tour and tasty beerWe had a fabulous time! We wanted to go to the brewery and they only had a Dutch tour available. So, of course, speaking no Dutch, we signed right up! Then when we got there, Yves offered us a private tour in English. Wonderful! Yves and his colleague were friendly, knowledgeable and just a nice guy to be around The tour was informative and the beer was tasty. Highly recommend!Written September 19, 2021

Not only the beers are good and unique, but the guides speak good clear english, they know a lot about beer history and the brewery history aswell. I've been to many many breweries and whisky distilleries, and without a doubt this is the best tour I've experienced! Yves was a great guide!Traveled with friendsWritten February 6, 2020

It was the best beer tour we have ever done here in Belgium. The service is exceptional and the guide made an exception for us speaking English and Dutch. The beers are excellent. The lady you attend is very polite and caring, and her husband is very funny.

One of the best breweries in Belgium. We were very impressed by their professionalism and were very well welcomed by them. The beers are delicious! It is worth a visit and a sipping of Karmeliet.
