Our beers
The Blond, amber 69, Scotch, Tripel and White are produced throughout the year. The three aperitif beers are always available as well.
In addition, a seasonal beer is brewed each season: the so-called specials. In the summer you can try our Caroussel special; in autom we have our "onbekende soldaat" unknown soldier and finally, you can light up your dark winters with our Xmas special.
The original location Kessel-Lo still lends its name to our two standard beers. The names of our more recent beer types are connected to the current location of the brewery or to one of the several partners we have worked with to create our unique beers.
Our aperitif beers (Brut, Demi-sec and Rosé) are a nod to wine culture, similar to what medium dry, rosé and brut are for sparkling wine, cava or champagne.
