I am Affligem Blond — golden, smooth, and brewed from a thousand years of devotion.
Since 1074, my story has unfolded within the walls of Affligem Abbey, where Benedictine monks began their pursuit of brewing excellence. Crafted from the ancient monastic recipe Formula Antiqua Renovata, I carry that legacy in every golden pour — a radiant blond ale that has quenched generations with grace and balance.
I greet you with soft aromas of honey, citrus peel, banana, and floral hops. My texture is smooth, my bitterness mild, my finish gently spiced — a harmony of malt and fruit wrapped in noble restraint. At 6.7%, I offer richness without heaviness, tradition without compromise.
Raise your glass and let me remind you why Belgium’s brewing soul endures. I am Affligem — timeless, balanced, and beautifully brewed.

Founded by six knights who became monks, the Abbey of Affligem has been brewing since in 1074, using odd illuminated manuscripts that were developed nearly 1000 years ago. Affligem is in the rich tradition of Belgian Abbey ales and is recognised as the brewer of exceptionally pure beers created on the basis of an authentic and highly protected brewing recipe.
