[1][2][tone] The name of the brewery derives from a female spirit, Witte Wieven, of local folk tales.

The Alvinne products are generally only available in 33cl bottles (of the short, squat variety popularly associated with beers like Duvel) and on tap.

English and Czech hop varieties are most common in their recipes, and the beers produced combine traditional Belgian brewing techniques such as the use of sugar and spices with the methods and styles of other nations.

The large quantity of beer styles in production is particularly uncommon for a brewery of such modest size,[original research?]

[tone] In addition to marketing their products under their own names, the brewery also follows the Belgian practice of offering "label beers" (Etiketbieren) for pubs, restaurants and other establishments.
