Belgium is known for its world-class beers, and Duvel is one of the most legendary. This golden strong ale has become a global icon, but did you know that its name has an unexpected origin?

A Beer Named After the Devil?

Back in 1923, the Moortgat Brewery had perfected its signature strong pale ale. Originally, it was called “Victory Ale” to celebrate the end of World War I. However, after tasting it, a local shoemaker reportedly exclaimed, "This is a real devil of a beer!" ("Nen echten Duvel!"). The name stuck, and Duvel was born.

What Makes Duvel Special?

Duvel is more than just a cool name—it’s a beer with a unique brewing process: 🍺 Fermentation Magic – It undergoes a special two-stage fermentation that lasts 90 days, ensuring a crisp, well-balanced flavor.

🍺 High but Smooth ABV – At 8.5%, it’s strong but dangerously drinkable, living up to its devilish reputation.

🍺 Signature Glass & Pour – The iconic tulip-shaped glass enhances its aroma and allows the beer’s effervescence to create that famous creamy white head.

A Global Belgian Icon

Duvel has inspired countless variations and collaborations, from the dry-hopped Duvel Tripel Hop to special aged editions. Despite its strength, it remains one of the most refreshing and elegant Belgian beers around.
