Looks like Cantillon
Looks like the old equipment at De Halve Maan in Bruges to me.
Is that a wooden mash tun? The old brewery at Westvleteren? I think it was decommissioned about 20 years ago, but Michael Jackson wrote about visiting it.
Yes, the mash tun is made of wood. No, it is not in Belgium.
Is the photo from the Pilsener Urquell brewery? Wasn’t much of their brewing process done in wooden vessels before their massive international expansion?
Another hint: in the UK.

Older, in fact.
This is one of two wooden mash tuns (English Oak) at the Shepherd Neame brewery in Kent, the only wooden tuns left in the UK. One was put in place in 1914 and the other in 1916.
“We don’t let caustic anywhere near them,” senior brewer Stewart Tricker said.
