The Van den Bossche brewery has been in existence for over 100 years.
In 1897 Arthur Van den Bossche bought a farm in Sint-Lievens-Esse,
in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes. He built a brewery there, where
still today the bottle-conditioned ales are brewed. The best known of these
is the abbey style beer, Pater Lieven. It was named after the patron saint
of the parish, Saint Livinus, and brewed according to the traditional manner
of abbey beers.
