Brouwerij Van Steenberge
The history of Brewery Van Steenberge, also known as Brewery Bios, dates back to 1784, when it was founded as Brewery De Peer by Jean Baptiste De Bruin.
After the First World War, the brewery came under the management of Paul Van Steenberge, professor of microbiology at the Ghent brewery school. In 1919 he changed the name of the brewery to Brewery Bios, after the beer of the same name that was then produced.
After the death of his father in 1962, Jozef Van Steenberge took over the management of the brewery, which again focused on the production of top-fermented quality beers.
In 1978, the brewery acquired the beer recipe from the Augustinian Fathers. It is further perfected and in 1982 the Augustijn comes on the market. Afterwards, the other top-fermentation beers Piraat and Gulden Draak are added to the range.
In 1990, management of the company passed to Joseph's son, Paul Van Steenberge, who in turn passes the helm to the 6th generation, Jef Versele.
