Ah, greetings, my friends! I am Leffe Blond, a beer with a tale to tell...
I was created in year 1240, but my story truly began in 1952 when Father Abboy Nys of the abbey, and the master brewer Albert Lootvoet decided to resurrect me. Now, this is a memory that all beer enthusiasts should raise a glass to! Together, they breathed life back into my dormant brewery, which was abandoned during the French Revolution, and since then, I have become a renowned Belgian beer cherished by beer lovers worldwide.
Crafted with the utmost care, I am a blend of pale malts, aromatic spices, Belgian yeasts, and love. My radiant golden hue catches the light, and with each sip, you'll discover a intricate flavors. Notes of vanilla and clove plays upon your palate, enveloping you in a velvety smoothness. To truly appreciate my splendor, raise a glass and let me unveil the artistry of Leffe!

The history of Leffe started way back in 1152, where Premonstratensian canonical Norbertines, like monks, lived in the Notre-Dame de Leffe Abbey. Back then, water was unsafe for consumption due to numerous epidemics. However, in 1240, the canons found the perfect solution; they started brewing beer as a safer alternative to water for travellers and pilgrims. Although Leffe had faced multiple hardships and even had to temporarily cease its operations for years, it managed to get back on its feet. Today, Leffe produces iconic and world-renowned Belgian beers that are painstakingly crafted with the recipes passed from generation to generation, and also with the time-old brewing traditions from the 12th century!
