For centuries the Mechelenians drank their own ‘amber’ coloured city beer: ‘Mechelschen Bruynen’. They drank the beer from Mechelenian buckets, glasses with a content from half a litre to more than 1 litre. And because our brewery is so deeply anchored in tradition, we are the only ones who brew this beer until this day. The recipe originates from the 14th century. The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and the typical taste of herbs creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the light freshness of blonde beers. This aromatic light-brown beer is at his best served cool.
