The Verhaeghe brewery is a small family business located in the southwest of the Belgian province of West Flanders and whose history can be traced back to 1885. The small brewery specializes in Belgian specialties and special beers.
Fighting spirit
The Verhaeghe Vichte brewery is located in the idyllic West Flanders region of Belgium. In 1885, Paul Verhaeghe founded the brewery with an attached malthouse in Vichte. Ideally located not far from the railway tracks, Paul Verhaeghe was in a position to sell a good portion of his products directly to Brussels. Until the war, his brewery was very successful and sales were good. During the war, Paul followed the Belgian government's order to resist economically. Together with countless other entrepreneurs, Paul Verhaeghe stopped production in his brewery. The German occupation responded to the protest by dismantling the brewery. In four years of inactivity, the brewery lost all of its customers from Vichte to Brussels and was also forced to purchase all of its brewing equipment. Nevertheless, the brewery did not let itself be intimidated and managed to work its way back to the top through consistent regionalism and openness to new trends.
quality not quantity
The current trend in the beer business is just what Brouwerij Verhaeghe is looking for. For some time now, beer drinkers have been preferring exclusive, special beers. They would rather have one creative, artisanal beer than three monotonous ones that have been mass-produced. High quality and excellent taste are a must. A particular highlight in the brewery's range is the Duchesse de Bourgogne , a mixed-fermentation ale that is stored in oak barrels for several months after brewing. This process gives it its exceptional taste and pleasantly full body. The tannins in the oak give the Duchesse its fruity character and make the beer a Belgian speciality.
