Brewery Strubbe

Brewery Strubbe is a family operation in Ichtegem in Western Flanders that produces beer using traditional Belgian methods passed down through generations. The facility makes several varieties including Blonde, Dubbel, Tripel, and Ichtegems Grand Cru.

The brewery was established in 1830 when Belgium became an independent nation, founded by Carolus Strubbe who initially worked as a farmer during summer months. The operation has remained under family ownership ever since, maintaining its craft traditions.

The brewery stands as one of the last of its kind in Ichtegem, where beer production was once central to the area's identity and craftspeople. Walking through the grounds, you sense how deeply brewing remains woven into the local way of life.

The brewery sits along the route between Roeselare and Oostende, making it reasonably accessible by road near the St-Michel Church. You can learn about the different beer styles and production methods during a visit to the site.

The building itself carries protected monument status, marking it as a rare example of continuous family brewery operation since Belgium's founding. This official recognition reflects how the site preserves both architecture and craft traditions spanning nearly two centuries.
