Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan
Walplein 26, 8000 Brugge
Family-run brewhouse sending its beer to bottling two miles away through a pipe buried under the city.
This guide to Huisbrouwerij De Halve Maan in Bruges starts with delivery trucks squeezing through medieval streets never built for anything wider than a horse cart, and a family brewery, running since 1856, deciding it needed a different way to move its beer. It follows their unlikely fix, an idea funded in part by ordinary beer drinkers paid back in beer, buried deep beneath the city and threading past canals, a car park and the old city walls. Order a glass here and picture where it has been.
