The “Struise” concept is based on creativity, innovation, quality, sustainability and friendship. We started producing beer in 2001, in a holiday resort in the village of Lo-Reninge, in a small barn on an ostrich farm called “De Noordhoek”. The first beer we created there was an old style wheat beer called “Struise Witte”. The name “Struise” comes from the Flemish slang for ostrich. Our brewery crest goes a step further and features a proud ostrich among a knight’s helmet, shield and feathers.
