Things to do in Limburg Province, The Netherlands: The Best Breweries
Getting its name from the medieval Duchy of Limburg (now split among Holland, Belgium and Germany and the birthplace of the infamously pungent Limburger cheese), Limburg is the Netherlands’ southernmost region. Many of the area’s best attractions are concentrated in the capital of Maastricht, but other sights include the 12th-century Valkenburg castle ruins, the 17th-century Eijsden castle, the 20th-century Glaspaleis (built next to a medieval church at Heerlen), and De Meinweg National Park.

Since 1870, the Meens family, now the 4th generation, brew their Alfa Beers in an artisanal and sustainable way. The small and completely independent brewery, nestled between the green hills of South Limburg Thull, cherishes its brewing tradition and recipe, using only pure ingredients such as aroma hop, barley malt and 100% spring water from its own Alfa Source.

Nice brewery in the south of the Netherlands. Specialized in their range of crafters of which the Grand Prestige is exquisite and world renowned. The brewery gives nice insight in the process of brewing and assembling as well as the raved oak aged versions annually sold out within minutes. These small batches are layered on oak used previously for wines, cognacs, whiskeys, etc. The fuse of tastes is absolutely phenomenal. Visiting the section where the beer ages on barrels adds to the experience of visiting the cellar where Grand Prestiges of all years are aging. Places and bottles can be reserved and once aged 5-6 years can be collected at the brewery. The experience is great and very personal, as are the tours at the brewery.

Bosch Brewery is the last complete city brewery in Maastricht. As an industrial monument, the brewery is unique to the Netherlands. It is completely intact, with malting house, brewery and brewer's house! All parts of the brewery can be visited. Our team of enthousiastic and expercienced volunteers will show you the brewery. A English or German guided tour lasts about one hour. Then you can taste two Maastricht beers with regional cheeses.

We visited this with a group and had Rene Brouwers (appropriate name for a guide in a brewery :-) =Brewer in Dutch) to show us around. fascinating really ! it is a trip back to the past and very vivid and colourful. the buildings are vaste and astonishing, packed with history and also a treat for Non Beer lovers. you see all, from the malt to the bottlery and even can see the private house where the last heir of Bosch lived until 2008 ! at the end, of course, some beer tasting is possible in a very nice historic room, de Ridder zaal, named after the previous competition of the Bosch Brewery (funny, but logic, this is a non profit house and the Ridder Brewery is gone forever including the buildings etc and here some of their treasures are honoured with respect in this hall) go and visit, it is worth your time and you help the volunteers and the foundation to keep improving and keeping this heritage.
