"Leffe" - beer with a very strong character

There is no Belgian who never heard of Leffe. Beer with this name is widely known both inside the country and outside it.

How it all began

It began all many hundreds of years ago, when the Catholic monks of the remote abbey "Notre Dame de Leffe" began to cook a wonderful ale. At that time, many clergymen were engaged in this solitary abode. They called the drink "Leffe". Beer received such a name, as a tribute to the place where the priests lived and daily appealed to God for prayer. It was in the distant 1152 year. But, in spite of everything, this destiny was prepared for these humble and hardworking people. For 750 years, the ancient monastery was repeatedly robbed, several times it was destroyed, suffered a flood and even burned after another raid by the troops of Duke Charles. In the late 19th century, the abbey was confiscated by the new government, and the novices were forced to leave their native abode. The opportunity to return appeared only in 1902. But only 50 years later, the monks managed to restore the production of their famous "Leffe". Beer once again acquired its former glory. Since then they are interested not only ordinary connoisseurs, but also the most famous producers of this foam drink in the country. The largest beer company in Belgium, "Interbrew" acquired the right to produce products of this brand and since then the real "era of Leffe" has begun. A museum "Leffe" was opened near the old abbey. Beer with the same name in it - the main exhibit.

The new drink was not similar to everything that was already produced in the world. Monks slightly improved the traditional technology. As a result, the beer they cooked was stronger and denser. But, strangely enough, the high content of alcohol (over 6 percent) in it was almost not felt. Probably, it was promoted by various fruit additives and spices, which were added to the basic recipe.
