The Kristoffel range

The Kristoffel range includes four traditional abbey-style beers, named after the patron saint of travellers: St Christopher. According to legend, St Christopher protected the brewery in times of adversity, allowing us to keep brewing beer today – nine generations later. You can taste the steadfastness and strength of St Christopher in our cloudy white, beautiful blonde, mystical rosé and dark varieties. Experience the legacy of St Christopher with every sip.

1758

Our 1758 beers are a tribute to the founding of our brewery. We have been refining our beer recipes for 265 years and this craftsmanship is reflected in our exclusive 1758 range, distinguished by a blend of six different high-quality hops.
