For years already, the Flemish village of Opwijk (pronounced Op-wike) is known as the home of a brewery that made its first mark in 1935. This is when Op-Ale, the happy amber beer, was launched and immediately adopted by beer drinkers far and wide. Did you know that it even received a gold medal at the Luxemburg international fair of 1951. And that in the region of Opwijk, the brewery is still immediately associated with the “Speciale Op-Ale”
