Brouwerij Omer Vander Ghinste, Family brewery in Bellegem, Belgium
Brouwerij Omer Vander Ghinste is a family brewery in Bellegem producing beers such as Bockor Pils, Omer Traditional Blond, and Cuvée des Jacobins. The facility includes modern brewing equipment and a visitor center where tours take place.
The brewery was founded in 1892 by Omer Vander Ghinste and carried the family name for over a century. Between 1976 and 2014, it operated under the name Bockor before reclaiming its original identity.
The name Omer has been passed down to firstborn sons for generations as part of the family's brewing tradition. This naming practice remains a living connection to the brewery's roots and identity today.
Visitors can join guided tours to explore the brewing facility with advance booking required. The visitor center provides clear orientation and information about the brewing process and beer selection.
One of the specialty beers, Cuvée des Jacobins, was named after a street in Paris where the founder sought shelter during wartime. This personal connection reveals how the family's life experiences shaped their brewing creations.
