The Brewery: Bosteels brewery is in Buggenhout in Flanders in Belgium. Founded in the 18th century by Evarist Bosteels.

Origin: In the 18th century, Pauwel Kwak brewed his own beer, amber, and also had a relay inn on the road between Mechelen and Ghent, where postal carriages stopped for a break. At that time, the Napoleonic code stipulated that coachmen were not allowed to drink beer with their passengers and were therefore not allowed to leave the carriage. Pauwel Kwak invented an effective solution to this problem by offering the famous Kwak beer in a special glass that could be placed on the carriage, so that the coachmen could also drink a beer. The famous KWAK glass with its wooden base was born.

Food: It's a perfect match with red meats and venison.
