Description
Bijna 400 jaar is brouwerij Breda verankerd met de Leuvense regio. In 1627 kende deze brouwerij zijn ontstaan toen ze het recht kreeg om water uit de Dijle te gebruiken om bier te brouwen. Een hele geschiedenis van bekende eigenaren, ups-and-downs, welvaart en oorlog, maar steeds met het produceren van diverse lekkere bieren volgde in de volgende 350 jaren. De (gouden) kabouter met een fles van brouwerij Breda tussen de armen, werd een van de eerste beeldmerken in België.

In de jaren ‘70 werd de brouwerij, zoals bijna alle andere brouwerijen uit die periode te Leuven, opgeslokt door grote broer “Stella Artois”. Van brouwerij Breda bleef enkele jaren later nog maar weinig over.

Vandaag is brouwerij Breda te Leuven terug in volle opstart met een breed gamma aan bieren en het plan om de stadsbrouwerij terug in het centrum van Leuven te heropbouwen.

Brouwerij Breda heeft als doel gesteld artisanaal gebrouwen bieren van de hoogste kwaliteit op de markt te brengen en een verbinding te zijn voor iedereen in de Leuvense regio en Oost-Brabant.

In 2017 raakte het nieuws bekend dat Brouwerij Breda anno 2019 het brouwen zal hervatten.
