Duvel is Brabantian, Ghent and Antwerp dialect for devil, the standard Dutch word being duivel [ˈdœy̯vəl].

In the early 1970s, when the company was struggling financially, Moortgat bottled and distributed the Danish beer, Tuborg.

The two companies ended this arrangement in the early 1980s, but it did save the brewery, which by then had managed to also set up massive distribution channels for their flagship beer, Duvel.

In 2014, Duvel Moortgat acquired Boulevard Brewing Company, which is located in Kansas City, Missouri.

[2] In July 2015, it was announced that Duvel Moortgat would acquire Paso Robles, California craft brewer Firestone Walker Brewing Company.

[11] To commemorate the end of World War I, the Moortgats named their main beer Victory Ale.

[12] Considered by many the definitive version of the Belgian Strong Pale Ale style, Duvel is brewed with Pilsner malt and dextrose, and hopped with Saaz hops and Styrian Goldings, the yeast still stems from the original culture of Scottish yeast bought by Albert Moortgat during a business tour of the U.K. just after World War I.

Since 2003, Vedett has been relaunched as a trendy luxury lager, aimed at young customers in upscale urban bars.

[15] In 1989, a wheat beer was launched in collaboration with Palm Breweries called Steendonk (referring to the villages of Steenhuffel and Breendonk where the brewers are located).
