Van Viven

Belgium

In 2003, Tony Traen, took over Kapel van Viven from Willy de lobel (the founder of Kapel van Viven).

The idea to apply Flemish brewing art to non-Flemish beers haunted Tony and together with Dirk Naudts (owner of the Proef brewery), he developed the recipes of Viven Ale, Viven Porter, Viven Imperial IPA and Viven Master IPA. These beers swas launched in 2010.
