Marckloff

Marckloff is the commercial brand of a special artisanal beer from the Belgian town of Durbuy, in the province of Luxembourg. It has been brewed since 1989 in the microbrewery of La Ferme au Chêne, located in the centre of the small town of Durbuy, and is currently produced at the Château de Durbuy. The beer is an amber high-fermentation ale with an alcohol content of 6.5% by volume, refermented in 75 cl or 33 cl bottles. The brand takes its name from Philippe Marckloff, owner of a brewery in Durbuy around 1560, and was created in 1989 by Jacques and Michel Trine with the help of master brewer Daniel Prignon of the Fantôme brewery in Soy. Two years later, the Confrérie de la Marckloff was founded by local tourism officials. The microbrewery of La Ferme au Chêne is housed in a glass-walled room. Despite what its location might suggest, it is not a farm-brewery. Visitors can watch all stages of production, and entry is free. The beer is produced in small quantities and is available only at the brewing and drinking location of La Ferme au Chêne. At the end of June 2013, the brewery closed its doors pending a possible takeover. Since the beginning of August 2014, a team of Durbuy residents decided to revive the brewing adventure at La Ferme au Chêne. In 2019, the brewery moved into the former stables of the Château de Durbuy. Marckloff remains a niche, locally rooted product rather than a widely distributed commercial beer. Its identity is closely tied to the town of Durbuy and to the historical figure whose name it bears. The brand is associated with the Confrérie de la Marckloff, a local brotherhood created in 1991, which underscores its role as a cultural and tourist emblem of the area. Production is small-scale and artisanal, with the beer sold on-site, making it a destination product for visitors to Durbuy.
