Our Alken brewery is the home of our Cristalleke, the pride and joy of Limburg and far beyond. In 1928, the first Belgian lager was born in this particular brewery. Don’t worry, there’s no wear and tear on our formula. Thanks to tradition, craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology, many other pilsners and speciality beers are brewed here for the national and international market. More than 200 colleagues help brew our beer that is worth remembering, hectolitre by hectolitre. Afterwards, you more than deserve a fresh pint.

Small or big party?

25cl or 30cl bottles, 50cl cans or a 50-litre keg? We provide the approriate volumes and packaging. At Alken Brewery, our premium brews come in different containers and are delivered to retail and hospitality outlets in and outside of Belgium.

A cheerful jack-of-all-trades, that’s how we like to describe our brewery. Of course, we should like to add that our Jack is a perfectionist. From its most raw form to your glass, our beers have to meet the highest quality standards. Compromising on quality is the only thing that is out of the question at Alken-Maes.

We don’t reduce our people to numbers. However, we do know everything about zeros and ones. Digitalisation has been the norm here for years. Apps to perform quality measurements, report faults digitally or monitor our machines to the millisecond: we do it all. Our entire site is self-sufficient when it comes to electricity.

Thanks to our solar panels and wind turbine, our brewery runs entirely on green electricity. We are also working hard to be fully carbon-neutral by 2026. We got this!
