## About

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”
