Heavenly beers, brewed in Holsbeek.

The brewer
From Achouffe and Haacht to a cellar of his own
Marc Andries is a bio-engineer. He supervised production at Brasserie d’Achouffe, ran the bottling plant at Brouwerij Haacht and started up production lines for solar cells. In 2008 a long-smouldering plan became reality: Brouwerij De Vlier, named after the Vlierbeek area.
After starting out in the former café Bieduif’ke in Kessel-Lo, the brewery found its home on the Leuvensebaan in Holsbeek: a detached house with a large cellar, converted into a brewery with a tasting room.
