Where Heritage Meets Hops.
OUR HOME
Tormales was founded in Zoutleeuw, Belgium, a region rich in brewing heritage. The name "Tormales" pays homage to Dormaal, the oldest known name of the area, where the brewery's journey began. The brewery's birthplace reflects the historical character of Zoutleeuw and its longstanding connection to beer.
Enjoyed for Centuries
OUR MISSION
Tormales operates as a brewery dedicated to resurrecting ancient beer recipes found in the region. The founders, inspired by the historical significance of Dormaal and its brewing traditions, embarked on a quest to recreate the Tripel, a beer with a spicy aftertaste and an ABV of 8.1%. Through meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to quality, Tormales beers offer a taste of history with every sip.
