brewery of Bellevaux

In Bellevaux, a village of Malmedy in Belgium’s Eastern Cantons, brewing grew out of a family decision to give an old farm a new life. The brewery combines Ardennes spring water, on-site production and a welcoming rural setting: a working microbrewery where the beers, tasting room and walking routes all remain closely tied to the surrounding landscape. From farm buildings to brewhouse The brewery occupies the former farm of Youp and Frida. Its owners describe the old farm buildings as the setting for a modern brewing installation, preserving the character of the small family farm while adapting it for contemporary production. The brewery is located at Rue de la Foncenale 1 in Bellevaux, part of Malmedy. A living, local beer range Bellevaux beers are brewed with Ardennes spring water and are neither filtered nor pasteurized. The brewery describes them as high-fermentation, naturally living beers that may retain visible yeast sediment. Its regular range includes Blonde, Brune, Blanche, Black, Lager, Malmedy Triple and Malmedy Quadruple, with seasonal and limited releases also appearing. Beer at the source The brewery presents itself as both a production site and a regional destination. Visitors can tour the installation, taste the beers and set out on walks beginning at the brewery. This close connection between brewing, farm setting and the Malmedy landscape is one of Bellevaux’s defining characteristics. Bellevaux is a family microbrewery where Ardennes spring water, living high-fermentation beer and a restored farm setting meet in one place.
