A dark castle ale with cherries, sweet and deep red.

Legend has it

Ingelmunster, the town that gave the castle and the beer their name, is said by tradition to be named after angels. A monastery stood on the site as early as the 7th century, and in 740 English monks are said to have moved in and given it their own name. From that, the story goes, came Ingelmunster, read as the monastery of the angels. The origin is disputed and nobody knows for certain, but the tale has stayed with the place for twelve centuries.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Interesting facts

The castle
The Van Honsebrouck family bought the castle at Ingelmunster in 1986. It is the castle that gave the whole Kasteel range its name and its label.
The recipe
Rouge is the house's dark Kasteel blended with cherries rather than a beer brewed from scratch.
The move
The brewery was long in Ingelmunster but moved around 2016 to a purpose-built site in Izegem.
Especially good with

Chocolate waffle, Belgian truffle.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
