elgium is renowned for its vibrant and diverse beer culture. A rich tradition of culinary invention and
improvisation, combined with centuries of brewing passion and expertise, helped craft a stunning
variety of beer styles enjoyed around the world.

Leffe Blonde was first brewed in 1240 by the monks of Abbaye de Notre Dame de Leffe in Belgium. A
spicy, faintly clove-like aroma is balanced by Leffe’s creamy body and restrained dry finish.
Stella Artois’ rich brewing heritage dates back to 1366 in Leuven, Belgium, where it was first brewed to
celebrate the holiday season. Traditional malted barley and the highest quality European hops give
Stella Artois its full flavor and delicately crisp finish.
Hoegaarden is the Original Belgian Wheat Beer, dating back to the 15th Century. A naturally cloudy
beer, Hoegaarden features a secret to its refreshing flavor and spicy nose: real Curaçao orange peel and
a dash of coriander.
Always Enjoy Responsibly.
