Steenhuffel
About this Place
Steenhuffel is a village in the municipality of Londerzeel, in Flemish Brabant, Flanders. Although small, it occupies an important place in Belgium's brewing landscape as the home of Brouwerij Palm, one of the country's best-known family breweries for much of the twentieth century.
Today the brewery forms part of Palm Belgian Craft Brewers, but Steenhuffel remains closely associated with Palm, Brugge Tripel and Rodenbach. For visitors with an interest in Belgian beer, this quiet village represents an important chapter in the story of traditional Belgian brewing.
Visitor notes
Steenhuffel is a working Flemish village rather than a tourist destination, but that is part of its appeal. Visitors interested in Belgian beer might be interested to see where generations of Palm beers have been brewed, while the surrounding countryside offers pleasant cycling and walking routes.
The brewery itself is no longer regularly open for public visits, so it's worth checking ahead if you're hoping to see inside. Nonetheless, Steenhuffel remains a place of genuine significance for Belgium's brewing heritage.
Dog-friendly
Steenhuffel's quiet village streets and surrounding rural roads make it a pleasant place to walk with a well-behaved dog.
