I draw the line at “bottled in”. If they want to bring over bulk beer and put it in bottles locally to save a few euro, that’s fine.
When you move the brewery (and most likely source ingredients from local suppliers) that’s no longer the same beer.
Its no beer… so cleared that one
No. It sucks that these commercial shitbeers ruin the reputation of real Belgian craft beers.

After corn, Leffe will now contain potato too?
Worst beer on the market. It is the only beer that gave me headache the next day after drinking just 2. I will never drink it again.
It is not brewed by Turkish firm, it is brewed by joint venture of Turkish firm and AbInBev.
Let me add another angle, do you think Godiva is Belgian chocolate?
Will they also start saying true Belgian beer (I know, we’re talking about Leffe here, but it’s technically still true) are beers made in the Russian federation and Belgian beer made outside of Russia are subpar copies of the real, Russian, thing?
Like they did with Champagne
Pragmatically, yes.
Personally; no because it was never really any good. Too sweet and too flat if you ask me.
You can do to Leffe anything you want. Nobody who respects themselves as a beer drinker considers it worthy of the accolade.
Actually, it was never a real beer.
just avoid anything brewed by Inbev and you will notice beer does not have to taste like corn and msg
Tbf I couldnt care less seeing leffe has always been a crap beer
They can keep it…
It’s Belgo-Brazilian-American beer …
Belgian? Maybe. Beer? I think not.
I’m so pissed they do that in total impunity. Never should they let the consumer know about that, and it’s infuriating. I know a lot of consumers won’t notice or take a decision about that and that’s the worst part. If everyone knew, it wouldn’t stay that way
Taste opinions aside, location of where the beer is brewed doesn’t really change the taste of the beer.
In the process of creating the beers, one of the steps is to replicate the mineral content of the water used to brew the beer. It’s part of the recipe. This way you get the same taste/experience whether the beer was brewed in Turkey, Russia or the States as if they were all brewed here.
I’m not an expert and this is possibly biased information because source: AbInbev tour of Stella Artois factory
My opinion:
Belgian beer is Belgian beer if the recipe has been made in Belgium or by Belgians. Even if it’s bad or corporatised.
That’s the great thing about Belgium, we have a lot of great and terrible beers that all cator to the taste of everyone worldwide. And come on, we all don’t want Heineken to even be considered beer.
That being said, I hate that they’ll produce it in Russia. I consider us to be at war with Russia as they have hiked up the gas prices resulting many people not being able to afford warming their water and homes. Producing anything there is spitting in our face.
No.. Fuck off
not the real question.
The real question is: Was it ever a beer?
Leffe is beer from the 90’s and a disgrace to the many other Belgian Beer brands
