Saint Amatus, also called St. Aimé, was a Benedictine monk. He took the defense of the lesser man who was exploited by the Merovingian king Thierry III. In Belgium, Oostvleteren is the only parish to patron St Amatus as saint. Struise started brewing Deca in Vleteren early 2006, we ankered ourselves by starting the development of our own micro brewery in Oostvleteren during 2009. With this adventure being on the rails, we thought the making of Saint Amatus 12 was as evident as can be. The terrific artwork was brought by our narcissistic artist Carlo Grootaert.

The "Struise" concept is based on creativity, innovation, quality, sustainablility and friendship. They started theirs journey into the beerworld anno 2001. It all started at De Noordhoek, an ostrich farm amidst the fields of Lo-Reninge. Very first beer saw the light of day there. Struise Witte became an old-style wheat beer. "Struise" is taken from Flemish slang for ostrich. Coat of arms therefore portrays a proud ostrich surrounded by a knight's helmet, shield and feathers. In 2003 they decided to go commercial with latest creation, a Belgian Dark Strong Ale called Pannepot. At that time they didn't have own installation yet, so they continued to live as gipsy brewers. They started at the Coulier Brewery and later at the nearby Deca Brewery in Woesten. They moved to a charming old school in Oostvleteren in 2009, where have been brewing beers independently since 2012. At the top of Struise team stands Urbain Coutteau as brewer and head of operations. Dion Vandeweghe reinforces the team as brewer and barrel room curator and Tom Coutteau as brewing assistant.
