We’ll go in search of Untold Stories together with locals and influencers. Learn about how German Jonas went on a two-day tour of Leuven, to drink beers and admire the city, of course. Visit Leuven paired Jonas with local Bart from Brewery De Coureur. A real match made in the brewery. Naturally, brewing stories about local beer were told, but in addition, Jonas discovered more than beer. Watch his reel to see a nice impression:
Stories abound; for example, when we asked Ine (the partner of the aforementioned Bart and co-owner of Brewery de Coureur) what her favourite places to eat in the city were, this was her answer: Noordoever, de Werf, het Strand. Do you know them? Joren from craft beer bar MALZ told us a secret: “Did you know that some places in Leuven will make you feel like you’re in southern Spain? Indeed, many palm trees adorn the streets and squares in summer.” Soon, Joren will go out with someone else who doesn’t know the city yet… Who knows? Maybe they’ll start counting palm trees after those beers. 😉
In short, toasting with a ‘pintje’, we proudly tout Leuven as the destination yet to be discovered. This city, steeped in authentic character, offers a wealth of unknown and remarkable stories about beer and its rich brewing tradition.
