About this audio guide
This guide to the Bruges Beer Experience follows two friends, Thibault Bekaert and Emmanuel Maertens, from an impulsive epiphany inside a Prague beer museum to a phone call deciding they would open one of their own back home. You'll hear how two non-brewers turned that idea into three floors above Bruges's old post office, opposite the Belfry tower, opening in the summer of 2014. Look for the antique bottling machine still standing on the stairwell where the two friends first placed it.
