Gageleer is a Belgian craft brewery based in Oud-Turnhout, operating as a cooperative (CVBA). The brewery draws its inspiration from the medieval brewing tradition of gruit beers, in which a mixture of herbs and botanicals was used to flavour and bitter beer long before hops became the standard ingredient. The name 'Gageleer' refers to sweet gale (gagel in Dutch), a herb historically used in these ancient brews, connecting the brand directly to centuries of Belgian brewing heritage. The brewery's portfolio centres on artisanal, biologically inspired beers rooted in regional identity. Gageleer produces a golden-coloured beer that pours with a fine white foam head and is characterised by a spiced, herbal nose — including hints of cardamom — reflecting the gruit tradition it draws from. One of the beers in the range is the Gageleer Sweet Gale Ale, brewed with an alcohol content of 7.5%. The brewery positions itself as a maker of craft Belgian regional beer with a distinctive character tied to the landscape and history of the Campine region. Gageleer has been described as a beer 'with the taste of the country where it was born', and the brand has attracted attention both domestically and internationally, appearing in specialist beer distribution networks across the Netherlands and Belgium. The brewery is also noted for its female founders, adding a distinctive dimension to its identity within the Belgian craft beer scene.
