During the French Revolution, the brewery
was destroyed. We only began after the second world war, to brew again
the beer, to make the tradition relive. Because of the high investments,
we decided to give right of license to brew the beer Leffe, by respecting
the old processes, to the brewer Lootvoet. So in 1952, Leffe Brune was
again brewed and met at once a deep success. While beers of Leffe already
counted their 4 varieties with each their very precise character, important
investments were necessary for the brewery Lootvoet to be able to answer
the increasing demand of the consumers. So in 1977, Albert Lootvoet received
the financial support of another brewery, brewery Artois. In 1987, while
the Brewery Artois and Piedboeuf merged, the brewery Interbrew was created.
Brewery, which today still assures, in narrow relation with the fathers
of the abbey, the production of beers of the Abbey of Leffe in the respect
for the established traditions.
