The Huyghe brewery is located in a place with a particularly charming name: the company is located in the “Appelhoek” in Melle. If you translate the word into German, it means something like Apfelwinkel. Brewing activity there can be traced back to the mid-seventeenth century, although the brewery has only been called Huyghe since 1938.
The brewery's best-known beer is the Delirium series , which started in 1989 with Delirium Tremens and brought the company a lot of national and international attention. At times, the special beer was considered the best in the world and caused sales at the Huyghe brewery to skyrocket. Today there are a number of additional examples of the Delirium series and the brewery has started further projects. This includes, for example, Mongozo , a label that brews beers based on African models. All of the brand's beers are made with exotic ingredients and resemble summery cocktails. Mongozo caused a stir when they said they released the first beer in 2010 that was both organic, gluten-free and fair trade. Huyghe also lives sustainable concepts with great ambition. The brewery's stated goal is to become the greenest, i.e. most sustainable, brewery in Belgium. This mission is pursued with discipline, passion and commitment. The latest technology ensures that as few resources as possible are used and that the brewing process is carried out economically. The brewery's concept also includes a reduction in water consumption, the production of solar power using photovoltaic systems and a comprehensive plan to reduce the ecological footprint in the future.
The Brouwerij Huyghe range is a hodgepodge of different beer styles. Belgian classics stand next to innovative craft beers, crazy creations such as the Delirium series and Mongozo also provide beer lovers with the most unusual taste. The Huyghe family is now in its fourth generation at the helm of the company and lives out their love for barley juice with enthusiasm and high standards. The family brewery wants to brew the best beer in Belgium and work as environmentally and resource-friendly as possible. Their own quality standards and outstanding beer have been and continue to be rewarded with prestigious awards year after year. The brewery has wowed judges in Europe and the world with its products and has already won more than a hundred trophies.
