Viven

Viven Brewery is a gem in the Belgian beer landscape. It all started in 1999, when Willy de Lobel turned his passion for beer into a local brewery. His brews, under the name 'Kapel van Viven', were soon a hit. In 2003, Tony Traen took over the torch and reinvigorated the brewery. Together with his wife, Krystle, they experimented with different styles and flavours. The core idea? Applying the Belgian art of brewing to non-Flemish beers.
