A New Museum Dedicated to Belgian Beer Has Opened in the Former Brussels Stock Exchange Building, Complete With a Virtual Bartender
The museum has touted itself as “the largest interactive beer center in the world.”
Belgian Beer World, a new museum dedicated to the history and love of beer making in Belgium, has opened in the neoclassical building that once housed the Brussels Stock Exchange.
The museum opened its doors to the public last month, with celebrations that included beatboxing, breakdancing, acrobatics and other entertainment in Place de la Bourse, the square outside the stock exchange building.
“From its historic basements to its spectacular rooftop Skybar, the Brussels Stock Exchange has been completely rethought and renovated,” museum officials said in a statement.

These artists are taking beer art to a whole new level. They are using the beer itself to paint with, the cans, tabs, bottle and caps — you name it — to make their creations ranging from realistic to abstract, each bringing their own flavor to the artistic process. And just like the craft beer industry, it’s not just local, its global. These artists are from a wide range of places and found common ground in this unexpected material inspiration.
