One of the most famous breweries in Antwerp. Brewery de Koninck was founded in 1827. Joseph Henricus De Koninck buys the inn ‘De Plaisante Hof’. This inn was located between Antwerp and Berchem. In 2010, however, De Koninck was taken over by Duvel Moortgat. They invested in perception, this way life was brought to the brewery. The brewery became, as it were, a dynamic brewery in the middle of the city. You can always visit this brewery, there is a renewed tour where you can taste the beer and see the process.
