Musée de la Brasserie de Warneton
Comines has been a major brewing centre since the Middle Ages. Its privileged geographical location, on the banks of the Lys, provided it with ideal resources: fresh water and hydraulic power. In the 19th century, the town boasted several flourishing breweries, including the Brasserie La Poste, now the 'Musée des Brasseurs'.
