Brewery ’t Paenhuys – Craftsmanship, friendship, and beers with character

In the heart of Nieuwkerken-Waas, Brewery ’t Paenhuys passionately and convincingly brews a range of authentic beers with a local story. What started as a small-scale hobby project quickly grew into a staple in the Waasland beer scene. The brewers of ’t Paenhuys combine traditional Belgian brewing techniques with a good dose of creativity and experimentation, resulting in beers that are both recognizable and surprising at the same time.

Well-known creations such as Schapenkop, Zwarte Zjef, and seasonal variants like Winter Zjef perfectly show what ’t Paenhuys stands for: beers with a soul, a nod to local folklore, and a flavor that lingers. Each beer tells its own story — from the proud nickname of the people of Nieuwkerken (“Schapenkoppen”) to the homely origin of Zjefke’s stout.

Brewery ’t Paenhuys is more than a beer brand: it is a place of meeting, community, and artisan craftsmanship. Here, beer is not only brewed but shared — with friends, with neighbors, and with everyone who loves an honest, full-flavored glass of beer from Waasland.
