In the hands of the Bosteels family for over 200 years, the brewery today is based on the craftsmanship of seven generations. In 1791, Jean-Baptist Bosteels established the brewery and it has been followed by generations who took over the brewery with zeal and never stopped brewing beer, even during the world wars. At that time, the brewery played such an important role in the city, the Bosteels family were such influential people that we are not surprised that 3 of the 7 generations have been mayors of the city.

In the 1930s, Antoine Bosteels, fifth generation, continued the brewing dynasty and played an important role in expanding Bosteels sales to other regions such as Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. His son Ivo Bosteels honored the iconic Pauwel Kwak beer by bringing it back to the market in 1980; this is the beginning of strong beers for Bosteels Brewery. In 1990, Ivo's son, Antoine Bosteels, the 7th generation, understood the potential of strong beers and especially the trend for blondes. Driven by a passion for the art of brewing and guided by his creativity, Antoine is at the roots of Tripel Karmeliet and DeuS Brut des Flandres.
