| In de familiehoeve aan ‘de Molenberg’ in Blaasveld maalde en stookte het molenaarsgeslacht Van Breedam graan tot jenever. Sinds 1637 werd deze familietraditie van generatie op generatie doorgegeven, tot in 1914 het laatste distillaat uit de ketels vloeide. Louis Van Breedam en zijn zus Anna verlieten in 1872 de Molenberg en namen de Mechelse brouwerij over die sinds 1471 het Groot Begijnhof en de stad voorzag van bier. Hiermee werd een nieuwe familietraditie opgestart. In 2010 start brouwer-eigenaar Charles Leclef met het distilleren van de Gouden Carolus Single Malt whisky uit het moutbeslag van het bier Gouden Carolus Tripel. Zo worden beide familietradities - stoken en brouwen - verenigd in een nieuw project: Stokerij De Molenberg. Ontdek er alles over in dit bezoekerscentrum. | |
| In the family farmhouse on the ‘de Molenberg’ in Blaasveld, the millers of the family Van Breedam grinded and brewed grain into jenever. Since 1637, this family tradition was passed on from generation to generation, until the last distillate flowed out of the kettles in 1927. Louis Van Breedam and his sister Anna left the Molenberg in 1872 and took over the Mechelen brewery that had been supplying the Groot Begijnhof and the town with beer since 1471. A new family tradition was started this way. In 2010, brewer-owner Charles Leclef starts distilling the Golden Carolus Single Malt whisky from the malt batter of the beer Golden Carolus Tripel. This way, both family traditions – distilling and brewing – are united in a new project: Distillery De Molenberg. Discover everything about it in this visiting centre. The circulation space in the entry hall is limited, but with some help with holding open the doors it will surely work out. There is a desk that accommodates wheelchairs. You can reach the 4 exposition spaces via good paths from outside, but they are also connected to each other. The historical floors are not smooth everywhere. You can reach and see most of the texts and exhibited objects very well from the wheelchair (although the display cabinets are a little high). At the lower side of the tasting room there is a table that accommodates wheelchairs. The shop is also easily accessible. There is a neatly adapted toilet with sufficient space and grab rails. |
