About Kwak
Founded in 1791 by Jean-Baptist Bosteels in Buggenhout, Belgium, the Bosteels family has carefully crafted beers with passion for over 200 years and seven generations. Seven generations who have brewed with the same relentless rigour to produce Belgium’s finest beer, while continuously pushing their craft. As evidence, the Bosteels brewery has never stopped brewing, even during the World Wars.
In fact, brewing has played such an important role in the history of the area that 3 generations of the 7 Bosteels have been town mayors.
In the 1980’s Antoine's son, Ivo Bosteels, honoured the iconic beer of Pauwel Kwak by rightfully returning it to the market, restoring an icon back to the world of beer. Signalling the beginning of a glorious relationship between the Bosteels family brewery and strong Belgian beers.
In 1990, Ivo’s own son, a 7th generation Bosteels, Antoine Bosteels, recognized the incredible potential for strong beers, especially the emerging opportunity for strong blond beers, and then created the impeccable Tripel Karmeliet and the DeuS Brut des Flandres.
Bosteels Brewery stands in the heart of the village of Buggenhout. In the spacious inner courtyard, two beautiful and dignified buildings rise up from the ground: the former Bosteels family residence and the iconic, whitewashed brewery tower.
The historically priceless listed Belgian family residence is built to the designs of the architect Minneart (Minneart Theatre, Gent). Inside, you can discover even more about the family Bosteels' heritage in the magnificent salon.
