The Story
Every legacy has a legend. Every story a hero. Meet ours: Arthur Van Roy, visionary craft brewer at village brewery DE HOORN in Steenhuffel. Our hero’s mission? To brew excellent and exciting specialty beers. His life’s work is now continued with Arthur’s Legacy, a range of innovative craft beers, developed at microbrewery DE HOORN. At this taste lab, opened in 2014, a new league of brew and ingredient masters push the boundaries of beer with their limited edition beers. Every year, several brews are tested by a community of beer lovers and enthusiasts. Only the best brews make it into a range of exclusive, limited edition classics Arthur would be proud of.
Meet the masters
Arthur’s innovative team consists of 4 ingredient masters and their brewmaster: They brew new & surprising beers that meet the highest quality standards and offer that little bit extra: a surprising ingredient, an unusual flavour … whatever their creativity comes up with.
