Antwerp: City Brewery De Koninck Interactive Tour
Take an interactive, self-guided tour of Antwerp City Brewery, founded in 1833, and discover the story of the brewery while tasting delicious beers.
Belgium's distinctive cone-shaped raspberry sweet: a hard sugar shell pressed into a stiff cone, filled with a slowly-thickening raspberry-arabic-gum syrup that creates a soft liquid-jelly interior.
Cuberdons were invented in the 1870s in Ghent, when pharmacist De Vynck stumbled across the formula while trying to keep cough syrup from crystallising too quickly. The cone shape and the curious liquid-jelly interior became the structural identifier; the canonical raspberry version emerged immediately and remains the most popular. The Antwerp cuberdon street culture grew through the 20th century and culminated in the bitter Ghent rivalry between two main makers (the 'cuberdon war' of the early 2010s). Antwerp's Christmas markets sell them by the small white bag. The interior must remain liquid; once a cuberdon dries out, it is no longer technically a cuberdon.
