Brouwerij Liefmans - Duvel Moortgat
The history of the brewery goes back to 1679, when there was already a mention of a brewery in the Krekelput. At the end of the eighteenth century, Jacobus Liefmans settled in Oudenaarde and gave the brewery his name.
It took several centuries before Liefmans succeeded in putting itself on the map as a brewery.
Only around 1900 did the brewery begin to fill its maturation tanks with cherries on a limited scale. Local farmers brought their surpluses to Liefmans and received beer in exchange. The Liefmans beers get their exceptional taste profile by mixing young, fresh beers with older and more mature beers, which restarts the fermentation.
