De Nachtraafbrouwers is a Belgian craft beer brand founded in late 2016, rooted in the Westhoek region of West Flanders. The name — which translates roughly to 'The Night Raven Brewers' — reflects the brand's atmospheric and dark character. Though not a production brewery in its own right, De Nachtraafbrouwers has its beers brewed under contract, including at the renowned Brouwerij Van Steenberge in Ertvelde, giving the brand access to established brewing expertise while maintaining its own distinct identity. The portfolio started with three varieties and has since grown to six different beers. The range includes styles that lean into richness and depth, from a clear blonde beer with a creamy head to darker, more complex offerings. Their Quadrupel Donker is a standout in the lineup — a bold, dark strong ale that has drawn considerable attention from beer enthusiasts in Belgium and beyond. The Nachtraaf Quadrupel Donker earned international recognition when it was named a Country Winner in the Barleywine category at a global beer competition, with an ABV of 10.5%. This award placed De Nachtraafbrouwers firmly on the map as a serious player in Belgian specialty beer. The brand is closely associated with the Diksmuide area and forms part of the wider craft beer culture celebrated along the Westhoek's cycling and tourism routes.
