Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck

Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck is an independent, sixth-generation family brewery with roots in Werken, West Flanders, where Amandus Vanhonsebrouck began brewing in 1811. His son Émile later opened Brouwerij Sint-Jozef in Ingelmunster, establishing the family’s long association with the town. Under Luc Vanhonsebrouck, the brewery developed the sour **Bacchus** and **St-Louis** beers and the strong blonde **Brigand**. In 1986 the family bought Ingelmunster Castle, which inspired Luc’s first strong dark beer, **Kasteel Donker**, launched in 1989. The Kasteel range became its best-known brand, later joined by **Filou** and Kasteel Rouge. In 2016 production moved to the striking new “Bierkasteel” brewery in nearby Emelgem (Izegem).
