This small microbrewery was originally supposed to be called De Parel (the Pearl), but it turned out that someone already had the rights to that name so they just changed a couple of letters around and De Prael was born. You can take a tour of the small premises in the Red Light district and learn about the brewing process followed by a beer in its new tasting room which has a view of all the brewing action. The owners also contribute to society by employing people who have a tough time finding work elsewhere and you can see them hard at work in the cellar where one fills the bottles, another puts the cap on and a third person attaches the labels. The brewery makes about eight different beers and you can buy all kinds of De Prael merchandise in its shop.
