Brasserie d'Ebly

Brasserie d’Ebly is best remembered not for a long-established brewing hall, but for giving a distinctly Ardennes identity to La Corne du Bois des Pendus. Founded around the vision of Gaëtan Patin, the brewery introduced a beer whose name reaches back to a place in the Anlier forest—and whose famous horn-shaped glass made the brand instantly recognizable. The original beers were brewed externally while the Ebly production project developed. A beer rooted in the Ardennes La Corne du Bois des Pendus takes its name from a locality in the Anlier forest of southern Belgium. The historical setting is associated with hangings in 1636; the “horn” refers to the shape of the forest. The brewery’s branding transformed that local reference into a memorable serving ritual, with the beer presented in a horn-shaped glass. Created in Ebly, brewed elsewhere at first The first La Corne beer was developed for Brasserie d’Ebly in 2010. Contemporary trade material describes Gaëtan Patin’s project as an Ardennes legend updated through brewing, while beer records identify the original 5.9% blonde as a Brasserie d’Ebly beer. Production was initially carried out by Brasserie des Légendes rather than at a completed Ebly brewhouse—a distinction between the beer’s creator and its first production site. A changing brewery identity Brasserie d’Ebly was incorporated as a Belgian brewing company on February 12, 2015. Later records indicate that the La Corne du Bois des Pendus brand moved to Brasserie des Légendes in 2019, which explains why current official product material presents the beer under that brewery rather than under Brasserie d’Ebly. Brasserie d’Ebly’s defining legacy is an Ardennes beer whose identity lives equally in its local name and its horn-shaped glass.
