Belle Vue Brewery



Belle-Vue Brewery is the name of a Brussels based brewery now owned by InBev, and the brand name of the Belgian lambic beers it produces. The firm was founded in 1913 by Philémon Vandenstock.

Four varieties of spontaneous fermentation beers containing 5.2% ABV are produced: Belle-Vue Gueuze, Kriek, Kriek Extra and Raspberry. It is the best-known brand of Belgian fruit beer though its sweet taste is far from representing that of traditional sour lambics. Belle-Vue's sole traditional product, Selection Lambic, is produced in very limited quantity.

Some people once stole copper from ferments of the brewery in order to sell it on the black market. This happened as the building on the Willebroek channel was no longer in use. Following that incident, the bosses of Belle-Vue decided to use those buildings as a beer museum.
