Affligem

Affligem's flavour identity is built around double fermentation: yeast is added a second time during the brewing process, a technique central to the abbey ale tradition that builds the fruity, complex character associated with Belgian monastic brewing. The 0.0% range is produced by brewing the beer to its full character first, then removing the alcohol through dealcoholisation (the beer is brewed at full strength and the alcohol is subsequently extracted), with the aim of retaining those distinctive fruity notes. The brand positions this technical approach as the means by which its characteristic profile survives the AF process.

Heineken, which is a distinct and separate entity from Affligem, holds the brand within its portfolio, giving it broad distribution across mainstream and specialist retail channels. Affligem's own positioning anchors on flavour, not scale.

For the sober-curious drinker drawn to Belgian brewing tradition, Affligem's 0.0% offers access to the abbey ale style through the same double-fermented base that defines the full-strength range.
