LEFFE - 0'0 BLONDE - Belgian Blond Ale (Alcohol Free) 33cl

The Leffe history has its origin in Notre-Dame de Leffe, an abbey of Premonstratensian canons founded in 1152. The Premonstratensian canonical Norbertines, like monks, live in community and according to certain rules. However, the canons have a very open vision and like to engage with the people around them. That is why it is not surprising that, since the foundation of the abbey, the Norbertines were known for the special attention they paid to welcoming guests and pilgrims. The numerous pilgrims who passed through the abbey always found the door open… but not only that. The canons started to brew beer at Leffe in 1240. Guests and travelers could quench their thirst with a healthy and refreshing drink. It was in fact a difficult period: the numerous epidemics which plagued the European territory at that time made drinking water unsafe. Fortunately, an ideal solution emerged: brewing beer. During the brewing process, the boiling temperature killed the microbes, which made beer safe to drink. The quality of water has improved greatly over the centuries, but the brewing of beer has remained a tradition, also for the Norbertines in Leffe. Today, AB-InBev is taking over this task, to continue the tradition of the Leffe beer, which has been brewed with passion since 1240.
