The Belgian highlands beer
Reaching up to 694 meters, this is the natural highest point in Belgium. Very close to this summit, we brew a full range of beers with a passion and love that also reach up.
All beer lovers will find a favourite in our range of 4 Peak beers made up of a blond, a brown, a triple and a blueberry.
Don’t wait to taste your Peak !
The High Fens have inspired the recipes of our beers that are all brewed with the water from the region. The typical local fruit can be found in our blueberry beer.
Our logo is also inspired from three characteristics of the High Fens :
THE SUMMIT
THE PINE TREE
THE DUCKBOARD PATHS
The highest point in Belgium
We are located very close to the « Signal de Botrange ».
If you look closely at our bottles, you will notice that the stairs to Botrange is included on the labels of our BELGIAN HIGHLAND BEER ("bière belge d'altitude").
On mounting these popular stairs, you reach an altitude of 700 meters at the top.
The High Fens water as brewing water
The exceptional water used to brew our beer springs from the peatland located in the heart of the High Fens. The water is enriched with minerals and acidified when filtering naturally through the peat before being finally used to brew our beers destined for your enjoyment.
All these characteristics are ideal for a beer brewing water
HOW IS THE WATER NATURALLY FILTERED?
The High Fens consists of peat bogs, an ecosystem created from the deposit of plant materials over many centuries.
The nonporous nature of the soil and its acidity slows the water filtration. As a result, a majority of the rainfall stays on the surface and is the source of our streams. As a consequence, the water stays in contact with the peat and is acidic and low in minerals.
An environmentally friendly brewery
Belgium Peak Beer respects the environment and limits its footprint to a minimum. Several steps have been taken to achieve this:
We are committed to reduce our water consumption. This is done by the use of our one-way-bottles and the bottling process.
Our cartons are all FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council) which guarantees the planting of a new tree for each tree used.
The by-products coming from the brewing process are distributed to local farmers for cattle-feed. This enables us to have own local channels.
A proportion of the proceeds generated from the sale of our limited special beers will be donated to improve of the environment of the High Fens.
The brewery has 4 different walks in the area aimed at promoting the High Fens.
