When the elderly Josef and Frieda passed away, the farm was put up for sale. We did not hesitate for a moment: this unique place had to be preserved and protected. The buildings would offer the perfect backdrop for a dream project: the realization of a craft brewery that we have simply named Brasserie de Bellevaux. And, it was only natural to use the crest of the Patrons of Bellevaux as its logo.
Several local expert tradesmen joined us in the challenge to transform the farm into a brewery without disturbing the harmony of the countryside. With patience, perseverance and dedication, the old structures and natural beauty have now been gracefully united with an ultra-modern state of the art brewing installation from Japan.
It is not obvious to brew a beer that deserves a place in the rich Belgian beer tradition. Aspirations to brew the highest quality of ale products and careful refinement of taste and formula has resulted in four characteristic beers referred to as Blonde, Brune, Black and Blanche. Ardennes spring-water, the finest ingredients and craftsmanship are at the base of the beer at Brasserie de Bellevaux.
Later this year we expect to open Brasserie de Bellevaux to the public. Via our website we will keep you informed of our progress and the opening date. Plan to visit us and enjoy our freshly brewed beer on the terrace of the Brasserie or in our charming tasting room where time seems to stand still.
