Geuze Boon

Frank Boon, often considered the 'savior of gueuze', devoted his life to the Boon Brewery. In the late 1970s, he bought a dying gueuzerie with the aim of reviving the local tradition of gueuze. Over time, the Brasserie Boon has continued to flourish, but always with the greatest respect for traditional know-how.

Dormaal

Hof ten Dormaal, a majestic square farm in Tildonk, has been home to a craft brewery with a unique ecological concept since 2009. We grow our own grain and hops and we malt, brew and bottle ourselves. All barley products and marcs are processed as feed for the farm's livestock. This closes the loop and makes us the most ecological brewery in the world.
