My recipe was created in 1240, but my story only truly begun in 1952, when an extraordinary meeting between my abbey's Father Abboy Nys and master brewer Albert Lootvoet took place – a memory that all beer enthusiasts should raise their glass to. Back then, I was a wound-down brewery that had fallen during the French revolutionaries. Hence, the pair vowed to bring me back... and they succeeded.
Today, I am one of the world's most recognisable Belgian beers. My brew is made up of age-old expertise and a blend of pale malts, speciality hops, Belgian yeasts and aromatic spices. My golden body has said to be extremely beautiful, and often catches and reflects light. Hints of vanilla and clove infuse me with an even smoother flavour, which is best expressed through a glass.

Founded in the 12th century, Leffe is one of the world's most recognisable Belgian beers and understandably so – it's had more than 800, albeit tumultuous years to build a brand and nail its quality. Using knowledge passed from generation to generation and ingredients found in the wild near the abbey, they had developed unique ales with a subtle taste and high alcohol content.
