The tour started with a short video explaining the history of the brewery. After that video, the guide brought us to where the old brewery was and showed us the old equipment. Then we went to go see the actual brewery and where the brewmasters sit and stuff like that. The guide also explained how they are trying to limit the amount of water they use, and just how they work to be more efficient in their production.
Next, our guide showed us the bottling and keg filling areas. These places are almost entirely automated, so there are not many people who work in those areas. For the filling area, only two people are needed to look after production.
Our guide also showed us the warehouse, photos are at the end of the post, and it was massive. There were all different kinds of beer, bottle sizes, and they were marked to go to many different countries. There was a couple of stacks set to go to Canada, and the photos of that are shown at the end. During this part, we also had a chance to pick up a party keg to buy for 20 euros later, and I picked out the La Guillotine one.
The last part of the tour was the best. It was the one hour of free beer time, and I made sure to make that hour count. I had 6 different beers, the last one was only a half beer, and those beers were Floris Kreik, Avorborden, Delirium Argentum, a coconut beer, the banana Delirium, and campus premium. The coconut tasting beer was also drunk from a coconut, which I thought was cool. After this, we also got a chance to buy merchandise, so I purchased a Delirium pink elephant hat.
After the tour, the group went to a park to have some pizza which was nice too.
