Interbrew owns the following Belgian breweries/brands (the list is
not complete, I just typed in the more interesting names from
Peter Crombecq's guide):
Belle-Vue, Brabrux, De Neve
Brands:
Belle Vue, Becasse, De Neve.
Drinkable exception:
Belle Vue Selection Lambic geuze, an unfiltered unsweetened
100% lambic blend. (this is a minute portion of their total
annual production, but it's enough to give all other traditional
lambic brewers a lot of competition).
Artois
Brands:
Bass(pale ale), McEwans (scotch ale and christmas ale)
Stella Artois, Hertog Jan,Tuborg, Lamot (acceptable
to barely tolerable mega-brewed pilsners).
Martinas, Lamot
Brands:
Campbell (scotch ale, christmas ale), Mackeson stout, Whitbread
(pale ale, extra stout)
De Kluis
Brands:
Hoegaarden (wit and grand cru), Leffe triple, Verboden vrucht.
Jupiler
Brands:
Piedboef, Jupiler (plain pilsners and table beers)
St. Guibert
Brands:
Leffe (blonde, brune etc.), Cuvee de Ciney. (sweetish top fermented
pseudo-specialties).
Safir, Wielemans
Brands:
<arbitrary> (supermarket contract-brewed lagers and worse).

I really didn't need to read this.
By the end of the day I'll probably be calling travel
agents for ticket prices.
<sigh>
For anyone who cares, head toward Beersel from the "ring road",
the castle will be on your right hiding behind a small pub. Its
(roughly) across the street from the train station, and on the
west side of the tracks. (if you pass under the tracks you've
just missed it)
Of course I don't expect there will be much of a problem finding
the place. Just follow the crowd.

My next article will be on my day at Belle-Vue and Hoegaarden, both
of these are Interbrew breweries.
Just before leaving I was in Leuven and took the opportunity to drop by
Interbrew's "home office" and have another talk with the gentleman working
to develop the US market. While I was in their lobby I wrote down the names
of all of the brands they have on display. I'll try to post this since I
found some of the brands quite supprising.

Nick asked about Interbrau and their beers.Bad news I'm afraid,they are
Europe's mega industrial brewing(well chemical mixing really!)complex who
have turned 100s of european craft beers into bland fizzy insipid brews,
including several in my home town of Burton on Trent in the UK.(They also did
the leveraged byout of Pierre Celis original Wit brewery; sending him to
Texas .Could be you'll be missing Labats soon!
