While in Bruges, we found ourselves near what we think ought to have been the the Gouden Boom brewery, responsible for Brugse Tripel and Brugse Tarwe amongst other beers. What we found instead was a demolition site. The gleaming copper in the picture above was atop the one remaining tower and exposed to the elements.
Does anyone know what’s going on…? The beers were certainly still available all over town.

The Gouden Boom brewery wa staken over by Palm some years ago and closed down in 2004. The beers are produced at the Palm Brewery in Steenhuffel.
Visited it many years ago and it was a lovely place. Shame.
Looking forward to Bruges, hopefully this year, will be asking you for travel advice!
What a strange place to put it. Nice pic though. a shame.
