Het Anker is a family brewery located in the Great Beguinage of Mechelen, where beer has been brewed for five generations. In addition, Stokerij De Molenberg, a 17th-century family farm and distillery in Blaasveld, is a distillery where a Belgian whiskey is distilled based on the malt mash of Gouden Carolus Tripel. The Gouden Carolus Single Malt is a fusion of the two family traditions of brewing and distilling. With a brasserie and brewery hotel, Het Anker offers the ultimate Mechelen beer experience.

Brouwerij Het Anker, a brewery with a centuries-old history, best known for its Gouden Carolus. The buildings, which had deteriorated over the years, were given a makeover about 15 years ago. Since then, the production volume has increased significantly and other beers have also flowed from the brewing kettles, such as Hopsinjoorke, De Blusser and Anker Herfstbok. The first Flemish whiskey also matured here: Gouden Carolus Single Malt, distilled from malt mash.
