If you’re ever in Antwerp and you like beer…RUN, don’t walk to the Kulminator. This is THE place for serious beer lovers and hailed as the best beer-pub in the world. Complete with house cats, the pub is musty, dark, overstuffed with cases and cases of so many varieties and vintages of beer (I’ve read over 800) that it’ll all blow your mind.
The owners, husband and wife Leen and Dirk, founded the pub back in 1974 and work as a team. This is Dirk and this is his office in the middle of everything. If someone is in need of a place to sit he’ll just move some of his stuff to the side to make room. Of course my favorite was the Trappist beer – yes, brewed by Trappist monks at monasteries sprinkled across Belgium and Netherlands. Amazing! If you only have a few hours in Antwerp this is THE place to go! Even how they serve many of these beers is so cool. Only your lips touch the glass on this one!
OK Sis you have teased me enough, this is going on my bucket list. Since I did’nt have one it’s in the number one position.
Love You Bro
Bro you would’ve LOVED this! Thought of you so often…and I should have dedicated this post to you! My bad…Love you too!

I’ve never cared that much for beer either, but trust me…you will if you come here!!! Some day my frister!!!
Your Belgium pictures are fascinating! I have no idea how I will work my upcoming adventure (starts tomorrow!) photos into my blog…somehow lions and Hospice don’t go together….
Thanks! Enjoy your adventures!
And to think you went to a similar wine store/museum when you got to us in the Netherlands! You really got your eyes full…and mouth, I might add! 🙂
And because you really favor the Trappist beer (which we do, too), next time you’re here we’ll go visit the Trappist brewery only 20 miles away. http://ginniehart.blogspot.nl/2011/02/virtual-realities.html (scroll down).
A trappist brewery only 20 miles away? Sign me up!!! We should get our list going on things to do for my next visit, ha!
