Brouwerij De Graal is a small Belgian brewery located in Brakel, in the Flemish Ardennes region of East Flanders. Its story is rooted in history: the Sint Jozef brewery was established in Brakel as far back as 1900, and the current brewery formally took shape in 2002 under brewer and owner Wim, who has guided the operation ever since. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Vlaamse Ardennen, De Graal has become closely associated with its home region and is considered a landmark name when beer and Brakel are mentioned in the same breath. De Graal brews a range of characterful Belgian ales that reflect both tradition and creativity. Among its notable offerings is the De Graal Dubbel, a Belgian dubbel coming in at 6.5% ABV, and the De Graal Gember, a ginger-infused Belgian ale that showcases the brewery's willingness to experiment with distinctive ingredients. The brewery is also known for contract and collaborative brewing, serving as a production partner for other Belgian beer brands and labels, including Keun bieren since 2022 and the Ambiorix range. As one of Belgium's smallest breweries, De Graal punches well above its weight in terms of reputation and range. Its beers have reached international audiences, with references appearing in Australian beer collector communities and Belgian beer retail platforms alike. The brewery also features in regional tourism and beer trail guides covering the Flemish Ardennes and the Dender valley.
