A-Z Breweries » De Struise Brouwers

Not being a commercial brewery that needs to turn over product in order to stay alive means that we can wait until our beers are perfect before releasing them, explains Carlo. This means their distributors in Europe, American and Japan, are patient. And their consumers are just as patient. It"s not uncommon to get your Struise after sitting on a waiting list at a mail order beer shop.

Selling their beer overseas is critical to Struise"s success. Urbain explains, “We have found Belgium to be a very traditional and difficult market. The majority of Belgian beer consumers drink the usual industrial stuff from big breweries. A smaller percentage will experiment with the better Belgian ale styles and trappists. Even there, there"s almost no room for innovation.

Struise is all about innovation. They tapped into the online beer scene many years ago and, unlike most other European brewers, have used internet resources to experience beer from around the world, most notably from the United States and Denmark. They've created a unique style of beer making, harmonizing popular styles from around the world with their own pure invention.
