For a while it seemed that the people of Eizeringen, a borough in 'Pajottenland', (a region, which is situated close
to Brussels, Belgium) would no longer be insured against big thirst.
Why? In October 1999, the 85-year old Marguerite
said that on Christmas eve she would uncork her last bottle of beer. Shekept the local pub open for more than 51 years. After
Christmas the curtain would definitively fall over "In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst", the only pub left at the church
square of Eizeringen.
But the unexpected happened. Although both of the Panneels brothers have a full time job (Kurt is
a garden architect and Yves is communication manager of an airline), they decided to take over the pub, to preserve the original
pub name and to continue the village tradition.
Besides the opening hours on Sundays and church holidays, from 10 a.m.
until 1.30 p.m. The pub is also open when there is a funeral service at Saint Ursula Church. Furthermore, the café can be
rented for private parties and gatherings.
The pub holders would appreciate it if you would write in the guestbook below
what you think about "In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst" and its website.
