Initial situation
Brewery De Halve Maan has been making its famous beer for over five centuries right in the heart of historic Bruges. Reports from way back in 1441 indicate that the brewery was already present at the current site. Bruges has always had a very rich history of breweries, especially during the inter-war period when more than 30 breweries were operating. Today, De Halve Maan is the last brewery to keep this tradition alive in the historic centre.
