Thoughts provoking and cultures mixing beers.

We brew cultures, gather people and break clichés, with no intention of giving lessons.

Morocco, my beloved home country, with its culture dating back centuries brimming with complexity. The only place in the world where violin is played on the knee and where argan trees grow.

My initial goal was to break clichés around Moroccan people and culture, in a simple and unifying way with a dash of self-deprecation (“Marlouf” is a pejorative name sometimes given to us Morrocans in Belgium)

Why orange blossom?

When I asked myself what Morocco smells like, I thought about blossoms that hang low from orange trees clustered around the streets and courtyards of my childhood home of Meknès, their sweet, floral bloom heralding the end of winter and the arrival of spring in the old imperial city.

To me this symbolises my brightest memories, filled with carefree joy memories of Morocco. As a result, I created La Marlouf, a Belgian Tripel beer blending the flavours of Morocco with Belgium’s brewing traditions. I continued then creating other beers with the same « cultures brewing » inspiration.
