The beers of Tongerlo have been enjoyed by travellers for over 900 years. The current brewer is the largest independant brewery in Belgium. The Abbey was destroyed in the French revolution but was rebuilt by the monks a little later. They did not rebuild the brewery but looked for an outside brewer.
Tongerlo Double. A reddish-amber coloured ale. A well made, soft, balanced beer.
Tongerlo Triple. This bright amber ale is also well made. It is dry with a pleasent bitter finish.
Tongerlo Double Blonde. A newly brewed beer. The beer is amber in colour and is full of complex flavours. A great tasting all rounder.
