Grimbergen

Grimbergen, a town in Flemish Brabant just north of Brussels, is known for its Norbertine abbey, its castles, and the abbey beer historically brewed there. The abbey houses a beer museum, and though brewing ceased some years ago — the trademark now held by Carlsberg — plans for a new microbrewery on the abbey grounds were announced in 2019. The town's proximity to Brussels makes it a popular residential base as well as a day-trip destination from the capital.
