Look around the brewery
Our own museum brewery.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries almost every village in Brabant and Limburg had its own (small) brewery and therefore also its own beer. This was usually top-fermented dark beer. Inside this old brewery from Ulvenhout, known as ‘De Roskam’, we shed light on how beer was brewed in Brabant in days gone by. In the new museum brewery we brew our own traditional beer. As he works, the brewer will tell you about this particular craft and the sometimes turbulent history of brewing in the southern Netherlands.
Sample the beer brewed at the Open Air Museum
The brewery was dismantled in 1940 and reconstructed at the Open Air Museum from 1941 to 1942. An exhibition area was added to the back of the brewery in 1995. Pay a visit to the tasting room, where you can sample a small glass of seasonal beer. Here you can also find out more about the taste and aroma of beer and the ingredients that go into it, for example.
The beers produced in this brewery are available to buy from the museum shop.
For groups: Book a brewery tour with beer tasting (from 10 people).
