Bike route along vanished breweries in Affligem

Bike route along vanished breweries in Affligem

The bike loop through Affligem is signposted and passes places that used to contain a brewery.
Hekelgem kicks off the tour with 48 brewers or families of brewers in 26 breweries. Perhaps the list is not exhaustive and can still be completed.
Essene has the best known and best preserved brewery and probably also the largest brewery that has just been restored by the new owner.
For Teralfene, however a distinct hop town (in those days one could walk from one corner of the village to the other through hop fields), we find only one brewery.

The route starts at the reception gate of the abbey. First you drive towards the abbey church in front of the Benedictus gate; then you turn back and follow the route.
At the places where there used to be a brewery, you automatically receive a message with limited information.
More detailed information can be found in the brochure.
