The Power of Craft
Tasting beer a few metres from the kettle
In the Brewery Café we pour tasting glasses of our draught beers, in a heavenly or a hellish line up. Everything you taste is brewed in the brewhouse and in the cellars under your feet.
With every glass you hear what you are tasting and why.
Three ways
Heavenly, hellish, or with a bite alongside
For small groups and for large ones.
Six glasses
Heavenly Tasting
Luna, Serafijn, Eeuwige Jeugd, a seasonal beer, Helse Engel and Nieuw Ligt.
Ten glasses

No reservation needed, you can simply walk in. If you come with a group of 15 people or more, do reserve. Want to know more about how to taste beer? Read tasting beer, how does that work.
The brewery
The brewers work right among the guests
City Brewery De Hemel brews in the brewhouse in the restaurant area and in the cellars of the Commanderie van Sint Jan. During the day the brewers are often there, so it can easily happen that you are sitting in the same room tasting or having lunch while they are working. The smell of the mash comes free with it.
Monday and Tuesday afternoon
See the brewers at work
That is when brewing takes place in the brewhouse, while you sit a few metres away tasting, having lunch or drinking high tea.
Always available
Simply from the menu
A tasting belongs to the café, not to a programme. You order it during opening hours, just like any other glass.
Where it happens
The brewhouse and the cellars
You sit a few metres from the kettles. What you taste matured in the cellars under your feet. View our beers
Under one roof
What you taste here comes from this house
In this building beer is brewed, coffee is roasted, chocolate is made, mustard is milled and vinegar is matured. The difference lies in the people who make it and who welcome you.
