LIKE NO OTHER Tongerlo Blond is a copper coloured, genuine Belgian abbey beer. Its perfectly balanced taste is enhanced by the spicy hop notes and the refermentation process.
LUX, Latin for light, refers to the reflection of the light in the warm copper color.
At the 2014 World Beer Awards, Tongerlo Blond was named the World’s Best Beer across all beer categories. The jury was unanimous:
the brewing of a simple beer shows forth the talent of the master brewer. It was the first time this title was awarded to a Belgian beer. A fine reward for the daily devotion to brewing this authentic abbey beer.
The abbey’s coat of arms together with the Latin saying ‘veritas vincit’ or ‘the truth triumphs’ adorns the packaging. Lux, Latin for light, in turn refers to the reflexion of light in the warm copper colour of the beer.
Haacht Brewery has been a real Belgian family brewery for 120 years. 100% Belgian, family and independent!
In 1990 Haacht Brewery starts with the complete renewal of the production equipment. Some twenty-five years later, it was completed with the construction of a new syrup factory.
Today, Haacht Brewery is an ultra-modern brewery, inspired by the past but more than ever ready for the future.
