Overview
Brasserie Inter-Pol is a Belgian brewery located in Mont, a village in the municipality of Houffalize in Luxembourg province. It was founded by Pol Ghekiere and his wife Tine, who in 1999 bought an old smithy dating back to 1710 and converted it into a bed and breakfast. Five years later, Pol Ghekiere also began working as a Dutch-language guide at the nearby Achouffe Brewery, where he deepened his knowledge of brewing and started experimenting in the kitchen. Behind the guesthouse, in the original smithy, a new space was built consisting of two parts: a tasting room and a small brewery with a brewing capacity of 70 litres per batch. The brewery was officially commissioned in 2010, and since then it has produced two regular beers, Zwarte Pol and Witte Pol. In addition to its core range, the brewery has produced seasonal or special beers such as Hops 'n Roses, Chili Pol, and Peated Pol. The brewery is a small, artisanal operation that is part of Belgium's rich brewing culture and is often listed among Belgian breweries and beer firms.
