Brouwerij De Drie Koningen

July 14, 2007
A pub in a superb setting, a beautifully preserved village, on a well-filled market square with a Gothic church, outside terrace and plenty of room inside, including a kids’ corner, and, more important, a brewery. Difficult to find, unless your car fits on a bicycle road. 15 mins by bicycle from the beach, BTW. Service is good, explanations straightforward. Eraclea, an international (Italian?) chain provides an extensive line of 18 ice tea shakers, 48 teas, 18 milk shakes, 10 chocolate drinks and a lot of coffees. The brewery makes 2 beers so far, and 2 more beers are made for them by Brewery Strubbe in Flanders. Food includes snacks and extensive meals, including beer cuisine, as the bread made with the spent grains. Drie Koningen meaning the 3 wise men visiting the infant Jesus, and a lot of features, including the barstools, are decorated with their crowns. If in this neighbourhood, a must.
