Brouwerij De Prael Houthavens


The plain industrial exterior doesn't give much away but the Houthavens location (opened 2019) of the socially minded Brouwerij De Prael has a stunning, contemporary interior of polished concrete floors, and tables made from recycled timbers. Beers include Bitter Blonde (German-style session beer), DIPA (double India Pale Ale) and Dortmunder (lager).

Its flagship brewery is in the Red Light District.
