Welcome at Brewery Leysen

Heavenly located at the Campine Mesopotamia between the rivers Nete and Aa.


Passion

The love for brewing grew out of the love for beer. The rich history of Belgian beer and tasty beers have led us to take a step in the brewing world and to start this adventure

Trial and error

Started in 2000 with the hobby brewing, we have developed many beers. Some nice of which everybody wanted more, the other less good and disappeared quickly. Yet the beers evolved and and were increasingly appreciated by friends and family.

A new start

The plant also grew from 30l to 100l and 200l further. The brewery has officially started since December 2015. Small and traditional but with full enthusiasm to provide the beer lovers of tasty and accessible beers

Growth

Since launching, we have grown incrementally. After half a year, in April 2016, a new kettle of 400 liters was installed. And from November 2015 a second kettle of 500 liters was added. So we continue to work on expanding our brewery but the craftsmanship and delivering consistent quality remain fixed values for the future.

Baskwadder

Baskwadder, a Monster, a Legend, it would wander at night in the woods of the Campine and would even eat barbed wire. This fantasy creature was used to scare the kids. So they certainly went home before dark from the woods.
