Antwerps Bolleke · Antwerp
De Koninck Antwerp pale ale, poured in its short stem bolleke glass. The everyday beer of Antwerp since 1833.
Brewery De Koninck opened on Mechelsesteenweg in 1833 and developed an Antwerp pale ale that became the Bolleke. The name refers to the short stemmed glass; ordering one is the city's everyday shorthand. The brewery still operates from the original building; tours end with a freshly poured glass. The annual Bollekesfeest in August pours Bolleke across Grote Markt for three days each year.
