After the war, J L Moortgat decided to produce an ale similar to the English and experimented until 1923 when a English type of ale was produced. A tasting session for local notable Belgians was arranged, the shoemaker was impressed and pronounced that this new ale was a real Duvel (devil) ale. The new ale was marketed under this name
