A short story about a legendary beer
In the 1950s, a meeting took place where all beer lovers should raise their glass of Leffe. Father Abbot Nys from the Leffe abbey then met Albert Lootvoet, an experienced brewer. Nys, passionate about his abbey, was terribly sorry that since the unpleasant visit of the French revolutionary troops, the brewery had slowly fallen into disrepair and eventually had to close its doors in 1809. Such a pearl should not be forgotten, he thought – the Leffe beer had to be brewed again. Nys and Lootvoet enthusiastically took up this challenge. Not long after, the Leffe beer was available again, and it was an instant hit. After Leffe Bruin, a golden beer was also launched – the Leffe Blond. A very nice chapter for Leffe.
