Owned by
Brouwerij Huyghe
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 1872
The brewhouse consists of three kettles from 1946 and a wort filter from 2014. The kettles are made of red copper and are “hammered” by hand into the existing shapes. The capacity is 3000 kg deposit. In the past, brews of 250 to 300 hl of lager were produced with this. Today we brew 110 hl per brew since the current beers are of a much higher density.

Wow! I just stumbled on to this, inexplicably, a huge stash is newly arrived at my local supermarket across the street. Pours very dark brown black w/some head and some lacing. Aroma is strong, taste is strong and malty, some sweet & fruit tastes, I guess the alcohol is noticeable though I really don’t mind. Surprisingly good! Buying decent beer from regular grocers in Manhattan is tough so when your local provison store somehow, some way, ends up with a stash of this, you take notice.

Cremosa corona de espuma beige claro sobre líquido castaño oscuro. Emana rico aroma con notas de malta tostada, caramelo, uva pasa, pan de centeno, ciruela seca, anís y un toque de canela. En boca es sedosa, compleja, equilibrada, se siente ese fondo dulce de malta, rico en notas de fruta seca y pasificada con un final ligeramente amargo plagado de especias, anís estrellado, canela, regaliz...Y lo mejor de todo es que se abre con el tiempo y mejora a cada sorbo. Gran cerveza

750mL bottle at the International Geuze & Kriek festival. Pours murky briwn with a beige head. Stale roast and allium on the nose. Flavour is quite harsh, stale toasted rye bread, cardboard. This is not coming together for me.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a cloudy dark chestnut amber brown with a humungous beige head. Aroma has earthy hops, some roast, Belgian yeast, and some spiciness. Flavour has spicy, earthy yeast, medium roast, toasted caramel, and red fruits. Old but still a nice faded spicy Belgian. Solid enough.
