Today we visited the city of Leuven and toured the Domus Brewery. This is a smaller brewery that provides beer for their pub. This was an interesting tour because it was a much smaller brewery than the ones we have visited previously. I enjoyed seeing some of the older homebrew equipment as well as their double pump system. Domus does not bottle or keg their beer, rather they store it in a double pump system that is directly connected to their pub. This means the beer travels from their brewery to their pub in a matter of seconds. After the tour we were able to taste some of the Domus beer including the Condomus and their Christmas Ale. Both beers were very tasty, but I preferred the Christmas Ale.
After the tour we were able to explore the city of Leuven a little bit more. This was quite exciting because Leuven is a college town much like McMinnville wants to be. It was great to see students wandering around the city and we were able to visit some of the local hangouts. Keith and I wandered into a coffee shop that was also a bar and enjoyed a quite decadent cappuccino.
I enjoyed exploring Leuven and I would like to return someday to see more of the city!
