About this audio guide
This guide to De Koninck, the Antwerp City Brewery on the Mechelsesteenweg, is about the people who made its beer, from the young brewer Modeste Van den Bogaert, who joined in nineteen forty-nine, to the brewers who inherited his craft. It touches the wary old partner who held the purse strings, the workers' houses the company once owned, and how a pale ale came to be ordered by the shape of its glass. Best heard standing beside the brewhouse kettles on the tour.
