The pub is found in Moen, Belgium, 8552.

A Belgian micro-brewery, established in 2003. It brewed at a couple of other locations before setting in the village of Moen, near Zwevegen, in 2011. Although starting with a Blonde, a Dubbel and a Tripel, the brewery soon started experimenting and has been at the cutting edge in Belgium of barrel-aging and developing sour beers. The brewery opens to the public on Friday afternoons and Saturdays (by prior arrangement) and has a very nice bar area (De Proefloft) overlooking the brew-kit.

We have visited this pub once, seen 5 different beers and tried them all.
