Our Brewing Process

Beer like ours doesn’t just happen. It takes near limitless passion, and dedication from our brewers; working together to respect our ancient recipes, while adapting to all the techniques of modern brewing. It’s kept us one of the top, and most awarded, Belgian beers-maintaining a 1000-year tradition of brewing excellence.

The Monks of Affligem

Everyone likes a good origin story. Ours dates back to 1074, when six knights became monks, tired of the hectic world of the Early Medieval Period and started an abbey. Water at the time wasn’t the best, so they thoughtfully, and very politely, started to brew beer for their guests (which was a safer alternative). Today the monks are still closely involved in every initiative taken on their beer - as a true quality keepers of our beer.
