    Very cute museum with the history of Antwerp and the brewery! 16€ per person with 2 glasses for beer to taste. I would love to have seen more of the brewery and less videos but it was still very nice. Great date if you both enjoy beers! Would recommend!! Aand very cute bar and gift shop at the end!!

    You should definitely visit! A must do in Antwerp, especially if you like the Koninck beers already. In the price there are 2 draft beer included, so your visit is almost for free. The interactive experience ia well done! The only criticism is that there are missing translations in English here and there and if you are not mastering the Belgian languages a bit, it would get difficult for you. Still, relaxed, with some nice gifts in the shop and at the end - a big choice of beer you can additionally try! 💕🍺

    (Translated by Google) Interesting tour, interactive and modern, with tastings on the way. Café afterwards is pleasantly busy, tasting plate with 3 beers is definitely recommended! (Original) Interessante rondleiding, interactief en modern gebracht, met proevertjes onderweg. Café nadien is gezellig druk, proefplat met 3 biertjes is zeker aan te raden!

    Really fun museum to visit. Cost 14€ per adult (comes with two glasses of beer). The visit is mostly videos about the history of the brewery but it's very well made. Takes about 1 hour to do. Also, it's the place to buy their products for a really good price. I recommend

    When in Belgium you have to try their waffles, fries, and Beer! What better place to sample than the largest brewery in Antwerp? If you have time take the guide tour. We had the beer tasting flight sampler. Had the bartender arrange Belgium’s favourite. While we aren’t typical beer drinkers we enjoyed the fresh, crisp refreshment on a nice summer day.

    It's a little bit outside the touristy city center, but if you got the Antwerp City Card, it's definitely worth a visit. It's just a few minutes Tram ride from the center. The tour takes about an hour and is entertaining for beer enthusiasts and skeptics alike. It's not just some guy showing you around the brewery but a well timed series of rooms with different concepts, teaching you things about the city, the brewery and brewing. It's entertaining for old and young people.

    A well-paced interactive tour and tastings where you get to pour your own beer!

  • 5/5 Juan B. 7 months ago on Google • 133 reviews
    Very delicious beer from local town and all over Belgium. I highly recommend the fruity Liefmans or the Triple D’-anvers The wait staff are super friendly too

    Cosy brewery cafe with a unique style and vibe. Very easy to order via QR codes on the tables.

  • 5/5 sandeep s. 4 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    A great interactive tour. Do it at your pace and enjoy the great beer they have to offer in the end. The tour comes with 2 complimentary drinks. You will.then finish the tour in their bar where you could try more of their beers.

  • 4/5 Vigor M. 6 years ago on Google
    A pleasant insight into this Antwerp beer brewing Company, that became one with Antwerp over the ages. Lots of vids in this exploration & U get 2 Beers to Taste at the beginning & the end of The visit, so U are in the mood to Taste more in the pub after the visit. Quote: Schol & doe ze nog eens vol

  • 4/5 Johan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent tour for tourists to learn a lot about Belgium and Antwerp in less than an hour. And while walking around you get the insights on the beer brewing porcess off course. Nice, interactive, guided in four languages and free voucher for a beer tasting included. Afterwards you can enjoy and sit back in the bar while trying many different flavours of beer which you can even pair with local products such as dried ham or chocolate pralines.

    Very good and fun the digital tour makes it acceble for all age and is very entertaining, recomend it for small groups and family how want to discover the riche history off Brouwerij de Koninck.

    (Translated by Google) Well worth a visit (Original) Een bezoek zeker waard

  • 3/5 Sam De P. 5 years ago on Google
    Good and clear brewery visit with a nice bar in the end. The tour is without a guide and handles a lot about the history of the brewery and the city of Antwerp. I prefer a tour with a guide and really in the brewery between the installations, I missed that a bit.

  • 4/5 Philip Van der P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great setting and very nicely done. Haven’t done the experience yet.

  • 4/5 Gregory Van A. 4 years ago on Google
    The tour around the facility is very nicely done. It really is a tour for the whole family, even for people who don't really like beer. The beer was nice too.

  • 4/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beer was very good and staff was helpful. Seems like there's a lot of stuff to do on the site, tours, bar, shop, several restaurants, etc. Seemed fun but I was there a bit late so I didn't get a chance to try it out.

  • 5/5 Carlos E. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth the stop when in Antwerp. For 14€, you get a very interesting visit and two small beers. Very nice shop and interesting museum.

  • 4/5 Rebekah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting and I learnt a lot. Wish there were more English texts as I can't understand Dutch. The beer is delicious 😋

  • 1/5 chang l. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely disappointed after today's visit. Not worthy the money at all, especially for foreigners who don't speak local language. Totally misleading when they heavily advertise the experience as "interactive". Nothing like that. Reading posters on the wall and watching screens are not interactive. I could have done that on YouTube....Only thing remotely related to a brewery is a peek into the workshop that is vacant and silent and I wonder whether the machine is just for show or really in production. Anyway, don't bother. Pick another brewery please

  • 5/5 Grace K A. 1 year ago on Google
    So so fun! We thought the tour was interesting and really enjoyable - got two beers throughout which was nice, had a beer tasting afterwards and some food which was delish - would definitely recommend to a friend 😊

  • 4/5 CN 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic tour at this brewery. This includes 2 medium sized beers. The tour is self-guided, interactive and quite fun. If you have extra time in Antwerp, I'd definitely recommend. This is a bit out of the main city centre but a tram stop is right in front of the building.

  • 5/5 Malawi_CL 1 year ago on Google
    Best Bakery in Antwerp! The crunchiness of the croissants are just marvelous. On top some chocolate Creme and I am a happy boy.

  • 3/5 Pieter B. 1 year ago on Google
    Branded as an interactive experience, walking from TV screen to TV screen doesn't seem all that interactive to me. Apart from that, the information provided is rather interesting overall. And it's definitely cool to be able to have a look inside the brewery. Is it worth the 16 euro entrance price? Yes, but just barely. And only if you're interested in beer and/or the history of the brewery.

  • 4/5 Martin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun and interactive visit of the brewery. It was truly entertaining and informative with the possibility to drink 2 different De Koninck beers while doing the tour.

  • 2/5 Xander 9 months ago on Google
    "interactive", the tour is definitely not worth the money. It's just a bunch of videos in series. The beer is oke, but doesn't make up for the lack of interactivity. Also no AC so in the summer its boiling hot inside.

  • 1/5 Samira M. 8 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Totally waste of time and money. What they call interactive is to make you watch 3-4 mins videos in Dutch 😂 no english. We did not like beers also as they were small portion and was not tasty at all.

  • 5/5 Norbert V. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing interactive exhibition, I enjoyed it a lot. I also liked that you get the tastings at the beginning and during the tour and can enjoy it while enjoying the exhibition. Will definitely come back

  • 5/5 Pete P. 9 months ago on Google
    Great way to spend an hour or so. The tour is really entertaining. It's not overly technical, and will appeal to those who are not that interested in beer. The emphasis is on entertainment rather than education. You get two smallish beers included in the tour price. Sunday's are not the best time to go if you want to eat as there are limited options. However, it was incredibly quiet - we were the only people in all of the exhibition/video screening rooms all the way through.

    (Translated by Google) Very accessible to everyone. Interesting and versatile tour of the brewery with two tasting moments. Cozy bar, with a lot of choice in terms of draft beer. With good weather enough opportunity to sit outside. Recommended. (Original) Heel toegankelijk voor iedereen. Interessante en veelzijdige bezichtiging van de brouwerij met twee degustatiemomenten.

    (Translated by Google) Fun and informative brewery visit. Certainly does not feel 'museum'-like. The tour is interactive and modern, and in the spirit of Antwerp. Of course, tasting is also fun! Easily accessible by public transport too. Nice trip with a day or afternoon in Antwerp. (Original) Leuk en informatief brouwerijbezoek. Voelt zeker niet 'museum'-achtig aan. De rondleiding is interactief en modern opgebouwd, en in de spirit van Antwerpen. Proeven is natuurlijk ook erg leuk! Makkelijk bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer ook. Leuk uitje bij een dagje of namiddagje Antwerpen.
