Taste profile

Legend has it

Liefmans' own story begins in the 17th century, when Jacobus Liefmans set up as a brewer in Oudenaarde. Local farmers are said to have brought their surplus cherries to the brewery and been given beer in exchange. And the brewery claims the microflora that makes the beer unique is found only in Oudenaarde. Nowhere else in the world, they say, is there 'the good air' to make Liefmans.

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

Interesting facts

In the glass
Beer matured on real cherries, blended with natural juice of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, bilberry and elderberry. 3.8%, with a sparkle that recalls a Kir Royal.
Wrapped by hand
Liefmans Goudenband and Cuvée-Brut are still wrapped in paper by hand, and the wrappers carry Rosa Merckx's signature.
The brewmaster
Rosa Merckx (1924–2023) became Belgium's first official female brewmaster in 1972, at Liefmans.

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 →
