| In the family homestead on ‘de Molenberg’ in Blaasveld, the mill family Van Breedam family used to grind and distil grain to make jenever. This family tradition has passed down from generation to generation since 1637, until the last distillate flowed out of the kettles in 1914. Louis Van Breedam and his sister Anna left De Molenberg in 1872 and took over the Mechelen brewery, which had supplied the Groot Begijnhof and the city with beer since 1471. This started a new family tradition. In 2010, brewer-owner Charles Leclef started distilling the Golden Carolus Single Malt whisky from the malt mash of the Golden Carolus Tripel beer. Thus both family traditions - distilling and brewing - united in a new project: Stokerij De Molenberg. Find out more about this in this visitors’ centre. Stokerij De Molenberg will be closed for works until 9 September 2022. | |
| Stokerij De Molenberg is gesloten vanwege verbouwingen. Er is nog geen datum voor heropening voorzien. |
