Brouwerij Brouwerij DeBlock - in opdracht van KANA

In Peizegem, just northwest of Brussels, Brewery De Block carries a family brewing tradition that reaches back to the late nineteenth century. Louis De Block, a miller and farmer connected by marriage to a brewing family from Baardegem, established the modern brewery in 1887. Its enduring identity is rooted in place, family continuity, and a portfolio that includes the Satan beers, Kastaar, and Abbeybeer Tripple Dendermonde. A brewery shaped in Peizegem Brewery De Block is located on Nieuwbaan in Merchtem-Peizegem, in Flemish Brabant.

It records the brewery’s development from 1887 under Louis De Block, with later additions and changes expanding the premises across the twentieth century.
