Ownership: Duvel Moortgat (family-controlled, listed on Euronext Brussels) — Breendonk-Puurs, Belgium

Known for: Belgium's most internationally recognised independent strong golden ale. Bottle-conditioned, dangerously drinkable at 8.5%, famously dry-finishing. The name means "devil" in Flemish dialect.

History: Brewed by the Moortgat family since 1871. The original Duvel was a dark ale; the golden strong version we know today was developed after World War II and launched in 1970. Duvel Moortgat has since acquired De Koninck, La Chouffe and Liefmans, making it Belgium's most significant independent brewing group — and a genuine counterweight to AB InBev's dominance of the Belgian premium beer segment.
