Bosteels (PauwelKwak)
Belgium · Founded in 1791
Bosteels Brewery is a historic family brewery located in Buggenhout, in the East Flanders region of Belgium. Founded in 1791 by Jean-Baptiste Bosteels, the brewery has been passed down through generations and stands as one of the enduring symbols of Belgian brewing craftsmanship. With a history spanning more than two centuries, Bosteels has built a reputation rooted in tradition, quality, and a deep respect for the art of Belgian beer making. The brewery's portfolio is compact but highly regarded, featuring a select range of Belgian ales that showcase diverse brewing styles. Among its offerings is Pauwel Kwak, a distinctive amber ale that has become the brewery's flagship beer. Known for its rich, full-bodied character and its iconic coachman's glass — served in a round-bottomed vessel held in a wooden stand — Kwak is as recognizable for its presentation as for its flavour. The brewery also produces Tripel Karmeliet, a celebrated triple ale brewed with three grains, and DeuS, a prestige brut des Flandres refermented in the bottle in the tradition of sparkling wine. Bosteels has earned international recognition through distribution across Europe and beyond, with its beers appearing in specialist beer shops and on tap in Belgian café culture worldwide. The brewery's ability to combine centuries-old heritage with distinctive, award-winning beers has secured its place among Belgium's most respected brewing names.
