Brouwerij Haacht

Brouwerij Haacht is an independent Belgian family brewery in Boortmeerbeek, Flemish Brabant. Brewing began there on 14 June 1898, when engineer Eugène De Ro made his first top-fermented beer in the former Haecht dairy. The business developed into Brouwerij en Melkerij van Haecht and has remained a significant independent brewer in a market increasingly dominated by international groups.

Its best-known beer is Primus, a classic Belgian pilsner, but Haacht also produces Tongerlo abbey beers, Super 8 speciality beers, Mystic fruit beers and Charles Quint. In 1998 it acquired the historic Eupener Bierbrauerei; brewing subsequently left Eupen, but Eupener Bier continues to be made to its traditional recipe. Haacht’s older spelling, Haecht, can still be found on historic advertising and glassware.
