A Belgian beer bar opened in 1983 on the Kemelstraat, with about three hundred beers, five on draught, and not a single pils on the menu.

't Brugs Beertje, the Bruges little bear, opened in the spring of 1983 and was one of the first bars in the city to decide not to serve pils: only Belgian craft beer. Today it has about three hundred, five of them on draught, in a small room full of brewing memorabilia, a stone's throw from the Steenstraat.
What you need to know
For 34 years it was run by Daisy Claeys, the best-known landlady in Bruges, who handed over to Dries Brouckaert. On the wall is still the painting "Spreuken Brouwen" by the painter Daubi, with the brewing process and more than a hundred sayings about drink. It is a place of a bar and small tables: you come to taste beers, not to have dinner.
When to go
It opens every afternoon at 16:00 except Wednesday, when it is closed; on weekdays and Sunday until midnight, and on Friday and Saturday until one. If it is full, the Brasserie Cambrinus, ten minutes away, has an equally long beer list and a kitchen.

Qué pedir: ask for advice at the bar and try one of the draught beers, which change

A tener en cuenta: Opens at 16:00 · closed on Wednesdays
