Beer has always been one of Belgium's biggest money-spinners but now Brussels is going a step further, announcing plans Thursday to open a temple to the amber nectar in its old stock exchange building.
The "Temple of Belgian Beer" project finds a use for the grand 19th century building near the Belgian capital's famed Grand Place, which is fronted by corinthian columns and resembles a classical temple. The Brussels Bourse was abandoned by stockbrokers in 1996 after the computerisation of the financial markets and then became a site for temporary exhibitions.
The building has fallen into disuse since authorities took it over in 2012.
