Established in 1999
Description
The microbrewery is founded by Achilles Van de Moer on the passion for special beers. After 7 years of trials with different beers, the decision to start a microbrewery in Itegem was made in 1999. The brand name of beers is “Serafijn”. All beers are high fermentation brews, with second fermentation in the bottle. Most of the beers are contract brewed, but some of them are also brewed at their own location.
In 2015 Achilles became part of Caupona bvba (of the Prik & Tik stores in Heist-op-den-Berg and Herselt). The brewery is now called ''Brouwerij Serafijn.'' That is the new company in Heist that houses the Serafijn beers. The former microbrewery in Itegem has been dismantled.
The beer is now brewed at the Pirlot brewery in Zandhoven.

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, dried fruits, yeast, spices and herbs. Flavour is sweet. Body is medium. Good beer with a tasty aroma, but a bit heavy on the sugary sweetness.

Bottle, 11%. Distinct malt syrup aroma, caramellly and spicy. Cloudy copper colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is sweet, malty, caramelly with a spicy sugar note and a distinct bitterness. Does not taste that strong, but has some alcohol bitterness in the finish.
