О пивоварне

The Beginning – The Cornelissen village brewery dates back to 1807, and like so many other Belgian breweries it started on a farm. To this day, the brewery is located in the centre of the village, Brouwerij Cornelissen The brewing hall at Brouwerij Cornelissen.

Up until October 2015 the brewery was called Sint-Jozef but with the sixth generation now at the helm it has been renamed Brouwerij Cornelissen, paying hommage to their rich family history in brewing. In 1859 the Cornelissen family married into this little brewing firm, founded by the Dutch Vissers family, whose menfolk were usually called John. From then on, generations of Cornelissens, all with a first name beginning with J, would represent the brewery.

Jaak Cornelissen built the first genuine brewing hall with facilities for fermentation in 1934-1935. In 1937 Pax Pils was launched, followed by the stronger Ops-Ale premium pils. At this stage the brewery was still a local concern, but owned several cafés. Export activities were started by Jaak’s sons Jan and Leo and Jef Cornelissen Senior joined the brewery in 1972, taking full control in 1980. Towards the end of the 1980s Bokkereyer amber ‘spéciale belge’ was introduced, followed by a cherry beer ('kriek') and Limburgse Witte white beer (1993). Bosbier (1989) was a new fruit beer, based on pils and blueberry juice.
