The Biggest Brewer in the World

AB InBev is headquartered in Leuven and produces on the order of a quarter of all beer sold worldwide. The Stella Artois brewery here traces its origins to a 1366 tavern.

The clock: Leuven keeps UTC+1. Its university, founded in 1425, split into two in 1968 over language, and the French-speaking half physically moved its library — books divided by shelf number.
