Brouwerijen Alken-Maes
Breweries Alken-Maes is the second largest brewing company in Belgium.
It was created in 1988 from the merger of Brewery Maes and the Brewery of Alken. The roots of both entities go back to around 1880. the Sint-Michaël brewery, while a short time later Arthur Boes started a brewery in Alken, about 100 km away.
Both breweries are developing systematically, with Cristal, for example, being the first Belgian pilsner in 1928. Maes Pils follows in 1946. Afterwards, Grimbergen, Ciney, Mort Subite and other beers join the portfolio, until the merger in 1988.
