The combination of a centuries-old beer tradition and the current passion of brewers in their quest for refinement and perfection has resulted in Belgium producing exceptional beers with an authentic history and pioneering expertise.

"Beer is the most convincing proof that God loves man and wants to see him happy." Benjamin Franklin
As for history, it always starts with women.
The brewing of beer goes back to the earliest cultures and originated in Mesopotamia in 9000 BC. Beer reaches the Gauls via Egypt and the Roman Empire. Brewing beer was initially a household task for women, abbeys and monks. In the early Middle Ages, abbeys developed into centres of knowledge for agriculture, cattle breeding and crafts, including brewing. Because the water quality was so poor, the monks were allowed to drink the typical regional drink to a limited extent. In our regions it was decided that beer should be brewed. Thanks to the monks, brewing beer developed from a household to a craft activity.
And so the customary art was further developed over centuries.
Since the turn of the century, the interest in authentic special beers has been growing. The best-known and most popular beer brands, which are intensively supported by marketing and PR, are contrasted by Trappist beers - which are slowly but surely becoming more and more exclusive due to the restrictions on production - and special beers full of character from local and family breweries. In recent years, more and more hobby brewers have begun producing their beers. These are sold on a smaller scale, directly or in a local establishment.
GrenzGenuss in Losheim has more than 250 varieties of Belgian and international speciality beers - everyone will find what they are looking for here. The gift packaging is also ideal.
The best-known and most popular beer brands are complemented by Trappist beers - which are slowly but surely becoming more and more exclusive due to production restrictions - and characterful speciality beers from local and family-run breweries. In recent years, more and more smaller brewers have been coming forward with their speciality beers, impressing with their quality, taste and price.
And in Belgium there are also delicious fruit beers, with cherry, raspberry or peach flavours, ideal refreshment in summer, but the "simple" Belgian beer brands are also a hit and a tip for barbecues.
The AD DELHAIZE is open daily from 8 to 18:30 also on Sundays.
