Brouwerij De Zwoane

Brouwerij De Zwoane is an Oostendse beer company rooted in Zandvoorde, where its name draws directly on local identity. Founded in April 2021, it developed a small range under the Zwoantje name, including Blond, Cuvée, Saison and Tripel. The brewery’s distinctive heritage is therefore young but clearly regional: a modern Belgian beer project whose identity is tied to the place where it began.

Rather than presenting an old abbey or centuries-old brewing lineage, the available history points to a contemporary regional initiative connected to Oostende and its surrounding community.
