Brief History
In 1871, Jan-Leonard Moortgat founded, along with his wife Maria De Block, the Moortgat brewery. At that time Moortgat was only one of the 4,000 breweries, now one of the largest in the country. Through persistance, he managed to bring his top fermenting beer to the market. Just over 30 years later his two sons join the brewery. The success of English ales makes Albert, John Leonard's son, to travel to Scotland for his required yeast. Once returned, he started with the yeast and he creates many beers. This yeast is still used.
