Brouwerij Misty Moon

Brouwerij Misty Moon started in a living room, or more accurately, in the back of a friend's bar. Marc De Laet was brewing at home when Kevin and Elke, who run Café Het Maanlicht in Mechelen, got curious. They had no house beer yet, so on a Sunday afternoon in July 2019, they invited him over to taste. Kevin picked two, and that was that. The blonde tripel became "Clair de Lune," a nod to the café's name, and the dark one was quickly renamed "Dark Moon" because nobody could be bothered with the full title. By September of that year, they were brewing professionally. The whole thing lives and breathes Mechelen. The name alone is a local inside joke: the Maneblussers, or "moon extinguishers," comes from a 1687 night when the whole city panicked over what looked like smoke coming from St. Rombout's tower. Turns out it was just the moon glowing through the mist. The townspeople tried to keep it quiet, but word got out, and the nickname stuck forever. So yeah, this is a brewery with a story…
